Earlier today I was doing some updating on my real estate site and my host was hit with a DDos attack.  Thankfully, they got that all squared away and fixed.  However, something happend along that same time period.  I don’t know if the two are related (although, I think they are) I was updating a post, and when I saved the post — it locked  up.  An hour later after my host had restored service… my post was GONE!  I started to feel flush and nervous.  I was cursing under my breath, trying to remember the last time I had done a full site backup.  Oh, and in case you were wondering the answer to THAT question — it has been too long.  It has always been too long.

WordPress Post Revisions to the rescue!  I was able to go in and restore one of my previous post revisions from last week.  It really saved the day!  For every time I’ve seen my post revision number stack up to 20 or more and wonder why in the world I haven’t researched turning this feature off, now I know why.
