Thank god for backups

It's 0100 and I'm going to bed because I just had to do the following:


# overzealous rm command

*curse*

*crawl under desk to plug in backup drive*

# su -

# mount /<backup drive>

# cd <to backup for web-site>/

# cp *.css <htdocs dir for site>/

# umount /<backup drive>

# ^D

# try to make changes to css

*annoyed grunt*

# su -

# chown stuff

# ^D

# cd <web-site htdocs>

*sigh*

# svn status (shows files I needed)

*headdesk*

Blew away my .css files, and at the same time reminded myself why I do backups on this system. Of course, it was all in subversion, but for the same reason (tired) that I blew the files away, I forgot all this.
