Oops, hit post too soon…

You can also go balls-to-the-wall and store your entire home directory in CVS or something like that, and set up a cron script to commit it every 5 minutes. It all depends on how valuable the data you’re trying to save is.

Another suggestion: when doing an rm, always type the flags *after* the file/directory name. That way, if you accidentally hit enter in the middle, you’re much less likely to wipe out a huge chunk of work. You can also ‘alias rm=”rm -i”‘ to be extra-careful.

I don’t know why everything I say to you these days begins with “Look buddy.”

Look buddy. I blame the system. I blame society. In the words of my mentor, “This is everyone’s fault but mine.”

I give him an FG post and this is how he repays me?

You should also consider something like this http://www.rsnapshot.org/ . Snapshots are even better then retreiving deleted files because you can retain versions of modified files.
