So many people talk about writing good docs, but you've done = it. The only quibble I have is that is seems more like a handbook topic than = a FAQ=20 entry. Especially as it grows. It could eventually be expanded to a ful= ler=20 list of sources of general disk recovery information. > I'm not sure this is the right place to put the information, > but I couldn't see any better place." How about section 12 of the handbook. I think the best option would be t= o=20 place a short bit in the FAQ and point to the handbook doc. The storage=20 section seems an appropriate place given reiterating the need for good=20 backups. =20 Just my $.02 Tim P.S. A similiar entry summarizing the answers to "I just deleted all of.= =2E. =20 how do I get it back?" Seems very useful. I'm willing to write that thi= s=20 weekend if someone else is willing to mark it up.
