I really hate to be the voice of technicality...but... If you are really looking for assurance than 'rm -rf /' would not affect your day because weekly full backups and nightly incremental should be made. If you don't have valid off system, perhaps off-site backups, then what kind of assurance do you really have? - -- Phillip Hofmeister PGP/GPG Key: http://www.zionlth.org/~plhofmei/ wget -O - http://www.zionlth.org/~plhofmei/key.txt | gpg --import - -- Excuse #247: Your process is not ISO 9000 compliant -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE/pFSVS3Jybf3L5MQRAsB6AJwNyi+JmzHRueapkrpwTbh6XT9IkACfRLBe LJi14tZl/pCqLaiyoiCTf8Y= =X0Xy -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
