I was Click-Happy... doh!

Delete!

You may have noticed that my comment count just dropped a bit, but most likely you didn't. I was trying to delete a single piece of comment spam from my blog, when I accidentally deleted the last 20 comments instead! I was just clicking away, not paying attention to what I was doing, and the next thing I know subText is telling me that is successfully deleted 20 comments.

I think that I will be able to restore all of the comments from my SQL Server's backup logs... but it could take a while. Wish me luck!

What others are saying.

Not that anyone cares... but I was finally able to restore all of my accidentally deleted comments this weekend. I used a pretty sweet and powerful little tool to help me search and parse my SQL Server Transaction Logs, and then restore each comment. I'll be sure to post a more detailed write-up later.

Be sure a take a look at the Apex SQL Log tool though... it could save your arse sometime. ;)
