Once dropped a database on my test server that I didn't recognise. Use this server for proofs of concept etc so do this a lot. And of course I don't back it up as it really only is for testing. Turned out this DB was to test a CMS I didn't know because a client insisted on it. Thing is, for the test I migrated my personal website, liked the result so deleted the original and left the DNS pointing at my test server.
Luckily it was just the family snapshot site (and the pics were hosted elsewhere) - so I let it run off the cache for about a year before moving back to a proper server and a CMS I knew. :o

Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool.
