I had a coworker preparing a customer database that arrived via sneakernet. He typo’d a variable during an rm -f step and ended up wiping the device because it was his working directory and the variable was undefined.
Last evening, I deleted a file by mistake in my dhcp server. Five minutes later I had recovered the file from the previous night’s backup and was going as if nothing happened.
This is where we sort the younglings from the grizzled veterans that backup and test their backups. Haven’t lost a file since 2002.
