No backups... err, oh, happy day! I just found out my backups were
working. I thought that partition had gotten full.
No sequence of commands in the shell history, unfortunately.
But now that I know I have pretty good backups, I will just experiment
and see if I can get it working again. If I make any startling
discoveries I will be sure and report them to the list. :-)
