Oh dear.

So, whatever good computer karma I have have acquired by religiously backing up my own data was negated yesterday when I tried to back up Merrystar’s data.

Last night was spent rebuilding her partition table — by hand, mind you — and then reinstalling Linux on Tsiolkovsky.

If you’re wondering how a backup could have gone so wrong that it would require rebuilding a partition table, well, that makes two of us.

(Fortunately, there is a backup of the drive now.)
