Bad sectors. Yesterday my system would not even boot. The latest automated
backup (2007-06-14) was complete, but it seems to have been contaminated
(with errors). The previous tape archive (2007-06-11) was fine, so I scp'ed
the 'diffs' of important files while I could... which I'm glad I did. All
in all, all I lost are a few outgoing E-mails (I pop), which I sort of
received back in a reply with quoted bits.
