If only that were true.  :-)

Of course the developers who can do a good job writing recovery
programs are smart enough to do regular backups.  This is why tools
like extundelete and ext4magic generally don't get a lot of volunteers
to help with documentation and development.

But you'd be amazed how many people contact me, or the ext4 list, or
the ext3-users list, asking for help, and who obviously had _not_ been
doing regular backups.  :-(

Well, I can certainly call for help, and see if there are folks who
would be interested in helping you with the translation and
creating/improving the English documentation

And now that I know about it, I'll certainly be pointing people at it.

Thanks for creating it!
