Finally got the site back up. Unfortunately I didn’t have a good backup of the Wordpress database, or even the old export file, so I had to dump the old database (still on Dreamhost) and import it manually. This seems to have confused Wordpress a bit and some themes completely fail to render the site, but this theme is nice and seems to work.

I’ve been backing things up to Amazon S3 because I like the idea of off-site backups, but I’m thinking that I need a more complete local backup system that allows for quicker restores. I love the idea of the Drobo but it would cost close to $1000 with drives and wouldn’t even be network accessible.
