Comment on Had to reimage my deck; impressed by how well a backup of my home folder carried over system and app settings

A decade or so ago, I messed around with Linux on my laptop, it was my main computer and I was distro hopping yo see what was out there.

I had my /home on a different partition and it worked well, until I left a USB hard drive plugged in…

It was my main music drive and I accidentaly picked that one to be erased…

I lost 6000+ songs…

I know the feel, many years ago I chose the wrong folder and overwrote all my video recordings.

    Thing is: it was the backup that I accidentally overwrote.
