For the record, back when I was doing my own hosting my site would get hacked semi-periodically. After months of tearing my hair out on layer after layer of security I finally figured out that I hadn't excluded the flipping HTML "PUT" statement -- the second oldest feature in the HTTP protocol after "GET!" Speaking of non-database backups, yet another reason I like MovableType is the default configuration is (still) all about static pages. That's particularly nice for upgrades, site maintenance, backup, and hack recovery. I had a wonderful time with you and Rusty. You were perfect hosts, your friends were a blast, and Manuels (the "unofficial Georgia Democratic party headquarters") was a riot. Good luck with your repairs, figleaf Yikes!
