Hello all,
I did something stupid the other day (sleep deprivation combined with
a "clever" hack were the main reasons), and I'm just curious if I did the
right thing afterwards.
The mistake:
/usr/local/# rm -f *
note that root was running bash as a shell at the time, found
in /usr/local/bin or something.
What I did was to start over, reinstall from scratch.
my question, was there an easier way?
thanks,
Ray
Ray,
Good quality backups are a must. Even a filesystem snapshot would
have helped in the above scenario.

The link above has great info about creating and using filesystem
snapshots. If you had one, you could have just mounted the
snapshot, and copied over the files/folders you accidentally removed.
