- rollcat 2y agoThere's an infinite amount of ways you can lose data. Here's one of my recent stories: https://www.rollc.at/posts/2022-05-02-disaster-recovery/ https://www.rollc.at/posts/2022-05-02-disaster-recovery/ Just among my "personal" stuff, over the last 12 years I've completely lost 4 hard drives due to age/physical failure. ZFS made it a no-deal twice, and aided with recovery once (once I've dd'd what was left of one drive, zvol snapshots made "risky" experimentation cheap&easy).
- n3storm 2y agoThanks for the link. I just realised I wrote down "did" instead "dd" :D I used photorec and other utilities with others disks, also FAT.
