Here's another one... Client uses rsync to download content. Unfortunately, said client sets the target to be a directory higher than intended. Bye bye /home This is where the fun starts. There are half a dozen KVM VPSes running with their images stored on /home.... and guess where the backups are (: Your mission - should you chose to accept it - is to get full backups made of these VMs before swap fills up, and rebuild everything. Any takers?
