One day. a long time ago, I accidently deleted all the dot-files in my home directory. Not only are there a many such files, but the system gets really upset when they're gone. I grabbed the latest full backup tape and restored them all (after working around the missing files that BRU wanted to see). Major PITA, but an avoided disaster.
