@ LQQK & JBSTEVEN:
You guys literally just made my day. It's these random acts of kindness that make life worth living, it's nice as heck to know people like you are out there, I thank you for that!
I've already set up hosting with GoDaddy.com and all site files from now on will be backed up monthly, so I at least have *something* to roll back to should a failure or catastrophic event occur.
I'm thinking it'll be very difficult indeed to get anything back, but I have a small amount of hope. If not, I'll simply roll up my sleeves again and trudge through it. Too much of the Barracuda story has been lost and I felt so good to preserve it for anyone curious, which turned out to be a lot.
Again, it'll be back before long, and thanks to any and all of you heroes out there who lend your talents and efforts to people in need..
