Never… and I want to say never (again) think that your LinuxBox is not going to do what you’re asking. Even if what you are asking is to delete your /home, and even if you’re doing it just because you have fever at 37.7°C and you don’t know exactly what you’re doing anymore ;)
It’s nice to see this operative system works bad when I’m not enough concentrated on what I’m doing.
Anyway, I stopped it in time, and I found out that running my backup script every 3 days is good, but doing it every day is going to be even better.
Damn, I love Linux!
I saw once, having a stage in a small software house in milan, someone being almost fired for typing “rm -rf /” as root, in a production machine!!
Pay attention on what you write in your console, since no penguin - unless it is unexplicably called “Bill” - will ask you twice before eating out all of yuor data ;)
Some day we will talk about your backup script
Ehehehe, that’s something I’ve already learnt: never suppose your LinuxBox is going to avoid doing something you told it, just because it’s stupid! :p
Oh… I call it a backup script, but indeed it’s just a Bash script with a lot of “tar -cvvf *” and moving to my NFS partition. It works, but for sure it’s not nice.
