No problem. You express yourself clearly enough. There are many people
here for which English is not the first language (idioma nativo), me
included and we are used to "fuzzy" English, so 99% of people here are
very tolerant with _that_ ;-)
I'll tell you an anecdote. A physics teacher told me once that if when
writing an exam I could not express myself in English, I could do it
in Spanish (he doesn't know a word of Spanish). He said he was
examining me on Physics, not English.
It's an anecdote I cherish, and tells a lot about character and
tolerance... I don't think a Spanish teacher would ever do that.
So go ahead and write! :-)

Ok. I say that because as I don't know what it does and how, I can not
even guess what the problem with tellico could be. My own books database
uses mysql.
What I and the rest can assure you is that there is no intentional
misbehaving in suse linux that could cause a disaster like yours. I can
very well imagine your distress. We can only make guesses, but we can not
know what happened.
What we do know is an old admin maxim: «The question is not whether I will
loose some data. The question is /when/ will I loose that data.» It is
just a question of time, we will have a disaster of some kind or another,
big, small, random, intentional, accidental... who knows.
Libraries get on fire, like the old one at Alexandria. Irretrievable
manuscripts were lost for ever.
So we can prepare and do backups... that's the only thing. They are far
easier to do now than they were two thousand years ago. I was hit by a big
data loss disaster recently, so I learned - I hope. (el herrero con
cuchara de palo). I will be hit again some time. So will you. This is
life.

Proofs. The other one is a verb, misspelled ;-)

Welcome!
