You've got a site. A nice website. A page you haven't touch in weeks needs a change, you go for it. You edit the content, click on save... NO, WAIT! Oh, crap! You totally screwed it!
OK, before anything else, DON'T PANIC! There's a backup somewhere, you can download a 500 Mb daily or weekly backup, open it, get the database, install it in your own computer using Xampp or something like that, access to the database using PHPMyadmin, locate the table where your content is saved, search for the appropiate row, then...
Agh, forget it, too complicated. You better look for it in Google's cache. You go to Google's Search and look for a copy of your page:
cache:www.yourwebsite.com/content?page=foobar
Google will show you a copy of your page as it was a week before, two weeks before or even a month before. But there it is. Just copy your content, go back to your website, and paste it.
That's it, Google cache saved your ass. And it was fast an easy.
