SSD Failure Temporarily Halts Linux 3.12 Kernel Work
I had pushed out _most_ of my pulls today, so realistically I didn't
lose a lot of work. However, any people having outstanding pull
requests or patches that they expected me to merge that are not in the
current tree on git.kernel.org, you may want to re-send the email,
because I had archived emails as I merged them, and I may not have
found all the ones that never made it out.. I know a few involved,
but....
It's well under a day's worth...
As far as backups, that's what git is for.
Well, it's not the original purpose, but it's a function that it's useful for.
"Only wimps use tape backup: real men just upload their important stuff on ftp, and let the rest of the world mirror it
Torvalds, Linus (1996-07-20). Post. linux.dev.kernel newsgroup."
Well if I had as many systems mirroring my work as Linus has I probably wouldn't be overly worried about backing up either. The rest of us can either back up or do as the guy who filed a request with the NSA for the files he'd lost. :^)
It's not just about losing your data but you have to go through and reinstall your OS and all your applications and set everything up and all that crap. Forget that. I make daily backups of my whole system.

words fail ... even my crappiest of documents is backed up across a few discs its so easy that until recently i didnt have raid i just used rsync to copy to each drive on a nightly basis
it wasnt an 'inconvienience' it was flipping easy
Surley rsync and backup is one of the strong features of a linux kernal
out of interest who manages the BSD kernal ? will they use backups
