The users only value the sysadmin when they accidentally deleted something really important....

I won't prolong this, but the irony is that my favorite 'song and dance' for my customers is..."Did you back it up? Do you have backups?" And they always hang their head and mumble something that sounds kinda like "'no', 'was gonna', 'couldn't, full moon'" ." Then I gently chastise them and go about my work. I haven't lost data since back in the 80's when I foolishly deleted some stuff whilst using Windows 3.1. Remember that? Since then, I've been very good about backing up stuff. In fact, just a few days ago, I was thinking, "Jeez, I should make a redundant copy of that data...?" Then the microwave bell dinged and I trotted off to scarf down my tasty burrito, all cares of the world instantly forgotten. Sigh...mostly it was pictures of bikes, mostly GTS's that I accumulated over the years off of the web. A few articles, and the such, and of course, some personal documents. Nothing to end the world, but a damned shame nonetheless. Hey! Any of you guys do CDRW data recovery? I'm pretty sure the data is there, I just messed up the 'lead-in' or TOC on the disk. I'm trying some 'recovery' utilities right now, but I'm not exactly optimistic about the results. Ah well, onward and upward. Sometimes you lose a soldier or two in the battle, it will receive a special place on the coffee table as the 'primary' soda coaster.
