Bits and pieces
Bah. I spent a grueling number of hours last night trying to get back my data from the buggered partitions. All in all I ended up with several hundred numbered directories in the lost+found dir, and had to wade through the lot trying to find something I recognized.
I managed to surface a lot of my crap – the majority of my mail etc, although I can see that some dirs have gone missing. Got my docs back and downloads, plus the majority of Scruff’s flatmate’s data although I don’t know if it’s all there either. Man I feel stupid. I have, however discovered a very nice howto on setting up incremental backups using rsync, so I’ll be setting that up on the fileserver over the weekend to make 3-4 hourly backups and daily snapshots, keeping the last three daily’s and the last four hourly’s, so that should keep me nice and safe – I’ll add the same for R’s box and for the important info on the Lyricist server I think. It’s going to be a boring weekend….
