After a short warning I've lost any bit of file on my harddisk. Caligula told there is notting to belive but yourself. I didn't trapped such a "accident" for many years. I had always backups, I had always a backup scenario!

Because I had strong backup. They were residing at a hidden location called "sakli" under media. After switching to my new laptop they were residing at /var. When I want to upgrade to new brand ubuntu 9.10 it warned me if I don't reformat system partitions, all files under will be deleted. Yes it doesnt matter to swap out the /var/www, /var/log etc directories, which are system based dirs. But all files are gone.

What I did loose:
Over 2gigs of video files, many can be collected again
Over 6gigs of music files, can be collected
Mails. Bank extres,
Passwords
My script (yes once upon a time I wrote it!), past works that I want to keep, like my first personal site, which is holding projects
Photograps, I, Ersin took.
The nerkl project. Over ten thousands lines of code.
