I occasionally do......and I cringe a little at my early versions.  I'll be coming out of retirement to help Alex re-establish the website.  It will be a bit like 2008 again.

A few more details have emerged: basically, the host had an automated process in place to create two backup copies every night. The automated process would back up the different sites in the same orde

So the latest is: all is lost. All data on the CCW server is irretrievably erased. Many of you have asked how something like this could happen: it’s as incomprehensible to me as it is to you. The

Looks like Dusky Beauties is down too

Don't know how much more tragedy I can take right now...

What is this Dusky Beauties you speak of?

Did you find it during porn hour?

This is devastating news. Best of luck getting it back and running.

Been there - done that.

All I can say is best of luck! That's a site I frequent OFTEN just because its so good!!

Oh snap! I did not expect such a huge tragedy like this until I entered Cuban Cigar Website! I hope that Alex and Trevor will manage to recover the precious habano data soon as I am a big fan of the FOH and Cuban Cigar Website!

Good luck with restoring the data (damn it I knew I should of done a recent export to .csv) :(

You guys have been a bellwether in the cigar community ever since I can remember. Just maintaining a site for 'public awareness' is a feat in and of itself, a selfless act. It would be a shame for the community to lose this valuable resource. I wish you guys "God speed" in the recovery, and thank you both for all the work in the past, now and into the future.

Fingers crossed that a recent backup exists!

At first I thought someone was playing a joke since it is Pearl Harbor Day here in the US.  This is bad news and hopefully that valuable resource will be back online soon.  Best of luck Trevor and Alex!

Isnt there a mirror or something like that?

I didnt even know nowadays datacenters dont have many mirrors/backups.

Yes, many safe guards and layers can be put in place to prevent loss such as this.  Of course, level of protection is dependent on budget. 

It would be a shame if this data could not be recovered.

Best of luck! The sites an amazing resource and tool!

Yes, it certainly is. I'd say last updated in early-mid 2016? Only the most current 2016 releases are missing like the Edmundo Dantes Belicoso. Hopefully this is all they need to get 99.9% of the info recovered. The last 12 months would be a piece of cake. This may be a great stroke of luck.

Thanks, Rye.
