I have a bit of a problem. My client is running a Joomla 1.0 site and some content (text) was lost. There was no backup configured of the MySQL database. The content was lost approx. around the 16:th of December 2012.
I tried finding the old site by using the Web Archive, but no cigar. The site is not even indexed.
I tried to retrieve it via Google cache instead. The cached page itself didn't have the content, but the preview screenshot of the website had the old content. I wrote everything I could read off the screenshot. However, there was content below the screenshot that could not be retrieved.
Here is what I typed into Google Search to find the old page:
site:gerami.se previous ass
Ass = assignments for those wondering ;)
I would really like to get the rest of the text that was below the screenshot when it was taken.
P.S: Whether this thread gets a solution or not, the moral of the story is still the same: Backup is your friend!

Since it is an .se site it is possible (although by no means certain) that the National Library of Sweden (Kungliga biblioteket) has archived the page. They have had a fairly robust web archiving program for many years but it will depend very heavily on how long your site was live whether or not they might have captured it. Given the year range in your comments (2004-2012) I'd say it was fairly probable that they have at least some of your content archived.
Unlike the Internet Archive, their web archive is not publicly accessible. You'll need to contact them and ask if they have your content and if it is possible for them to extract and send it your way.
