Well done!
Bloody good job

Its honestly a welcome relief to hear a harddisk crash story that ends
with, and then I restored from last nights backup and went on my merry way.

At this point I'd normally go into a rant, lamenting Microsoft, and
Linux alike, for making backups an optional extra, tacked onto the side
rather than a key component of the computer.... ooops, there I go....
back on track... but I think I'll just (try) to keep this positive and
say well done.
