There are two types of people: those who backup, and those have not lost data yet.

[@abhishekanil99]

Can confirm... Source: Lost my data once and now have multiple versions of files I need

[@gemstonegynoid7475]

I used to have tons of gigabytes of downloads in my pc/downloads folder. There was some useless file right on this upper folder, and it came with an uninstaller. I activated the uninstaller to delete this old software. The uninstaller proceeded to delete every single file in pc/downloads. Instead of specifically deleting it's related files, it deleted everything in the directory. I was unable to restore anything except some thumbnails of images. Nowadays, I constantly always download stuff into new folders, never in a root directory. So if anything needs to be deleted I just delete the folder, not use any uninstaller.

[@TrigramThunder]

or, you know, people who just don't have any valuable files that they'd care got deleted. my storage systems are always near empty from all the constant OS reinstalling which absolutely gets me used to not relying on any important information being stored there. so a storage failure is to me about as inconvenient as a fly on your screen might be to you. perks of digital minimalism.

The splat (*) is dangerous with root privilege. There are some nasty surprises when logged in as root in some systems, too. I don't recall on exactly which one, but the current directory dot (.) can be crawled upward in a recursive command, as the parent directory dot-dot (..) is matched by ./.*.

Back in the floppy disk era, I would grab grad students' thesis disks and announce I was going to degauss them, thus permanently wiping all data from them. If they would panic in terror (many did), I would say that I was just joking about degaussing, but maybe you should make backups of your precious data. That was after more than one grad student had to retype their thesis because a massive floppy failure had caused it to be lost. If the data is important enough to panic over the thought of losing it, it is important enough to back up.

[@Twisted_Code]

That is diabolical. This chaotic approach to teaching is among my favorites because emotional stress is a powerful motivator for learning. The main issue with it is fatigue, but for backups I think it's justified.

The closest I've come to testing this is accidentally nuking a dev server database during a "routine" upgrade at 11pm at night. Upgrade involved getting new version of k8s and the fact that the instance had no SSD assigned to it and was writing to memory was discovered after everything came back blank. Fortunately backups did work, and the worst part of the incident turned out to be the timing. See, 11pm was also when the last coffee shop around closed, meaning I had to do a full manual recovery on gas station coffee. We established better protocol for verifying we had good backups before running upgrades. All of the work on our live server went without a glitch. Startups are fun. Never a dull moment.

Worst moment I had wasn't actually a typo, but still fits the theme of "always have a backup". I was working on a huge arrangement of various songs from a popular television show at the time. It was going to be a gift to a friend that he's (hopefully) have his HS's band play at some point. Well, after working for at least 4 hours straight adding all kinds of notes, edits, and other things, I was about halfway done with the whole thing (I had worked on it for about 6 months before this). Well, I was working on all of this on my laptop in 2014, and my laptop was from a few years earlier (2010 I think): earlier enough that it still had a user removable battery. I had recently replaced the battery since the old one lost its charge capacity. What I didn't do, however, was made sure that the battery had been locked into place. So, I save the file after all this work, and slide the laptop off my lap and put it down on my bed to get a soda or whatever. And... yup you guessed it. The battery came out, shutting the whole thing off, and RIGHT in the middle of saving an entire day's work. I didn't even realize until I came back with my soda. So, I put the thing back in as fast as I could, and boot it back up. I see that my file was still there, but when I go to open it... ERROR: This file is corrupted and cannot be opened. After panicking internally, I remember that I did have a backup on an old hard drive... from over a month ago. I still had the file, but now, over a month's hard work was gone. Still haven't gone back to that file 8 years later.

[@HappyBeezerStudios]

The reason why even something as NTFS doesn't do move operations. It does copy and delete operations. And only in the end after everything is done does the old file get deleted. If you have a power loss in the middle of operation you don't end up with two half files and a tiny piece between them missing.

I got up to go down to the coffee shop and ended up seeing a friend and chatting for a while. When I got back, my battery had died. I plugged it in, restarted it, and there was nothing.
