Comment I feel that lone sysadmin's pain (Score 5, Insightful) 356

A few years back, I caught and stopped a fellow sysadmin's rm -rf on /home on our home directory server. He had typo'd while cleaning up some old home directories, i.e.:

rm -rf /home/user1 /home/user2 /home/ user3

Backups were ineffective. 30% of our users lost their home directories permanently. He never lived it down. Check your backups!
