Oh, and whenever you're going to do something dangerous, _double_ your backups. It's _not_ funny to try to restore from the backup you verified yesterday, only to notice that something bad happened a floppy over the night. Don't ask why I know this. Using modern floppies (3.5") for backups is not a good anyway, but sometimes you can't afford a tape drive. Not that tapes don't get errors, too. If it's worth doing, it's worth doing properly. That applies to paranoia, too. -- Rural sizes win <liw@iki.fi> <http://www.iki.fi/liw/> Please don't Cc: me when replying to my message on a mailing list.
