The fact was that it was not even allowing us to connect to control panel. So, all these problems happened. The solution mentioned here is just to show that we need to make sure that we do implement some sort of mechanism to handle unexpected loss of data in any commercial application. This solution is indeed not feasible if the data was in large quantities. The event was not a large scale event and participants were expected to be around 25-30. In developing large scale enterprise applications, we need to implement more sophisticated backup mechanism. I'll definitely write about them in future. Thanks again for your comment. Hi Anony,

If hundreds of students had registered it would be a daunting task to re-construct the database from the hundreds of resulting e-mails. You were right in calling it a hacky solution, this is not the kind of solution one would expect from an engineering graduate with work experience! Keep writing!

How much of it was remaining on the day of the event ? I think you'll underestimated the number of visitors to the site. How much bandwidth did your host provide per month ?
