OT: Data Recovery

[Eric Cope]

Its actually not, because it didn't include the month of stress worrying
about whether it would recover, finding a recovery source, anger because I
wanted to run Crashplan on the computer with the drive, but the my brother,
the owner, insisting his backup plan was good.

Add that to it, and backups become a necessity of life: water, food,
shelter, backups!
