  I went to my blog today, and the front has reverted to an archive from october. I can find my old posts and edit them via the comments listed in the dashboard (which still exist), but I can’t access anything on the site from my Posts section of the dashboard or from my front page later than October. Have I lost my data forever, or can this be fixed? I haven’t done any mucking with the settings and such that might cause this.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hmm, it’s back now, never mind…I better back up more often just in case I guess.

  Same thing happened to me just now… many were gone – now they’re back. Is there a way to automatically backup? Geez.

  All fixed. No data was lost – it was a bug in the way posts were displayed.

  WordPress.com is heavily backed up in case of disasters. You can use the Export feature to fetch a backup for your own peace of mind.

  So WP backs up all my writing? Really wow, I’m thinking that could save me space on my dinosaur of a computer.

  Thank you, Key Master. I freaked out. ;-)
  It’s nice to know WordPress is backed up. Thanks again!

  @bats0711 and @owlnet, please be aware that WordPress.com is backed up in case of a disaster at WordPress.com. Not disasters on your computers, or of your own making.
