linux FOREVER!

[MaD dUCK <madduck@madduck.net>]

just wanted to share:
  a production system of mine (very very important actually):
  i use rsync, i specify .. accidentally as opposed to .
  i use the --delete flag
  --> /etc/* recursively gone.
  AAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

  but: i have a week-old backup.
  i am ssh'd into the thing. no problems though
    (what happens when you delete the registry of a running windoze
     system?)
  i can't rsync anymore (/etc/passwd gone)
  but proftpd works. so i dump the backup etc as tarball and restore.
  
  then i use tripwire to at least discover which files i modified in
  the last seven days...

wow. too much for my heart at 3am. but i think the system will
survive...
