Hi Guys,
In a long time in this industry I've seen quite a lot, when it comes to data recovery two incidents come to mind.
The first was when a customer asked me to recover some data from an 8" floppy disk if I could.
I gave them specific instructions about making a copy and packing it for collection, when the package arrived in the office for my attention - it contained a photo copy of the original disk along with a list of files that they wanted me to recover.
The second was somewhat later and was a 5 1/4" floppy from the same customer, it arrived with a note attached saying that it was the only copy they had - the note was on a compliments slip that had been carefully stapled to the disk.
If I have learned anything in the business, it's when you think that you've made things idiot proof - you find out that the idiots have been upgraded.
Regards
Dave

virecover
VIRECOVER(8) BSD System Manager's Manual VIRECOVER(8) NAME
virecover -- report recovered vi edit sessions SYNOPSIS
/usr/libexec/virecover DESCRIPTION
The virecover utility sends emails to users who have vi(1) recovery files. This email gives the name of the file that was saved for recovery and instructions for recovering most, if not all, of the changes to the file. This is done by using the -r option with vi(1). See the -r option in vi(1) for details. If the backup files have the execute bit set or are zero length, then they have not been modified, so virecover deletes them to clean up. virecover also removes recovery files that are corrupted, zero length, or do not have a corresponding backup file. virecover is normally run automatically at boot time using /etc/rc.d/virecover. FILES
/var/tmp/vi.recover/recover.* vi(1) recovery files /var/tmp/vi.recover/vi.* vi(1) editor backup files SEE ALSO
vi(1), rc.conf(5) HISTORY
This script, previously known as recover.script, is from nvi and was added to NetBSD in 1996. It was renamed in 2001. AUTHORS
