Just wanted to post about a mysterious and unexpected occurrence that happened to a major website of mine (www.u2station.com) involving movable type's database. I logged in the other night and discovered that the database was empty! I couldn't find my blogs upon logging in even though the website still had all of the hundreds of news entries on the site. No access, modifications, editing, updating and repairing could be done because there was nothing in the database itself. Nobody deleted it. I didn't. So there was nothing. Zero. Totally. I was in shock.
See below screenshot of what I saw upon logging in:

Fortunately, I contacted my server administrator and he helped restore my database by accessing backup database files from his data center (almost 2 weeks old!). I couldn't imagine what I would have done without his assistance though. However, I really don't know what caused this whole problem to even happen in the first place. But I wanted to inform everyone of my experience just for future records. I'm using Version 3.15 of MT by the way.
Hope nobody experiences what I had here!
