Backups are a good thing for this. If you don't have money for a usb/firewire disk, cd burner or old second computer, you can also store your files in your homedir at the university. Computer hardware will die for sure. You just never know when, but when it does, it is a real PITA. Backups not only protect against user error, but also bad programs, power failures, broken hardware, etc. You can't do without. > I had two filesystems corrupted in unusual ways as I described, and in > both cases reiserfsck --rebuild-tree was mostly useless in recovering > the data. Did you try the newest reiserfsprogs? They are at 3.6.13 now, and seem to get quite a bit better every release. -- Humilis IT Services and Solutions http://www.humilis.net
