Well ok, perhaps not ALL but at least as far as datloss goes. As of about 45 minutes ago I was able to mount the recovered data file created by dd_rescue & dd_rhelp. When I mounted it, I feared the worst, and expected still that there would be no hope. I was wrong. I now have, copying to the new webserver, and copied to my local HDD, _ALL_ of the remaining missing photos. Thats right… Every last one of them. All of Four Kingdoms, all of Halloween, all of Christmas 2005, even some pictures from my mothers birthday that I didn’t remember losing. As far as troubles go, this one is now pushed to the level of minor annoyance, and no longer has any control over me.
I learned my lesson… BACKUP BACKUP BACKUP…
