Back that $<i></i>* up. For the second time this week I am just haystacking through issue after issue because I don&#x27;t have a clean backup. I am super broke so I actually couldn&#x27;t afford a big enough drive, but still there is no excuse.<p>First time I had a non-consecutive exception in my Mavericks main partition. I made a rescue but after upgrading a partition to Yosemite, linux wouldnt boot and refind wouldn&#x27;t show up because of this new logical disk partition. It took like 4 hours to scp all my data to another computer, then reformat and set my environment up again.<p>2. Accidentally moved &#x2F;usr&#x2F;libexec instead of &#x2F;usr&#x2F;libexec&#x2F;sharingd. With filevault on, this became a mega headache. Now my disk is partitioned in half (after fighting to decrypt the drive) and downloading yosemite to the partition. All because I modified a root directory path and put it back off by a directory. I am almost done fixing it now after another ~1.5 hours of install &amp; config. Apple was awesome about allowing me support a month out of warranty but the &quot;executive team&quot; didn&#x27;t seem to even know what a terminal was.<p>Tl;dr But seriously, image your computer, server, keurig coffee machine, whatever because when your data is as corrupt as your gov&#x27;t, even they can&#x27;t help you.
