just wanted to share: a production system of mine (very very important actually): i use rsync, i specify .. accidentally as opposed to . i use the --delete flag --> /etc/* recursively gone. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAH
but: i have a week-old backup. i am ssh'd into the thing. no problems though (what happens when you delete the registry of a running windoze system?) i can't rsync anymore (/etc/passwd gone) but proftpd works. so i dump the backup etc as tarball and restore. then i use tripwire to at least discover which files i modified in the last seven days... wow. too much for my heart at 3am. but i think the system will survive... martin; (greetings from the heart of the sun.) \____ echo mailto: !#^."<*>"|tr "<*> mailto:" [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- today, i will gladly share my experience and advice, for there are no sweeter words than "i told you so."
