Mary Anne<\/a> lost all her data in a hard drive crash. So I decided it was long past time for me to do a full backup of all my important files.<\/p>\nSo I tried to, but I did some things wrong, so I tried to delete all the files that had copied over so far and start again.<\/p>\n
And I thought as I was doing it, \"Boy, I better make sure I'm deleting the files on the backup disk, and not the originals.\"<\/p>\n
And I checked, and sure enough I was deleting the files on the backup disk.<\/p>\n
Only I wasn't.<\/p>\n
Damn it.<\/p>\n
I don't think I lost too much, 'cause of the particular way I was deleting them. But boy was that stupid. I have nobody to blame but myself.<\/p>\n
And of course my last backup was a couple of months ago....<\/p>\n
Sigh.<\/p>\n
Moral 1: Do regular backups. Moral 2: Do them intelligently, and don't delete files of any kind just before or during a backup. Moral 3: Never never use \\rm if you can delete the files just as easily from the Desktop. (Thank God I know better than to use \\rm -r.)<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
