Meanwhile, I’ve been backing stuff up like it’s my religion, and never had a drive failure to recover from.
The closest I’ve come is when I, earlier this year, trashed the file system on one of my machines. I restored the backup onto one of the two drives in the machine (they’re in a RAID1 configuration), but then I found a way to mount the old file system, so I still would have been able to recover without the backup.
The depths of my jealousy, knows no bounds. On 3 separate occasions in the last 8 years I’ve lost decades of data. I was able to recover most of the data at every failure, but cumulatively…almost enough to make me cry…
