Truth be told, most of the projects that I may have lost were
completed. I am a packrat and don't delete them 'til I absolutely have
to. It's come in handy.
There was almost no footage of the current project. That which I lost
I can recapture. There were some notes on the current project which
were lost. I did find a hard copy of an Excel sheet of about 50
people involved in the history of the doc I am doing.
A screw-up like this is not caused by one thing...it usually takes a
series of screw-ups. That is certainly the case here. The first was
choosing RAID 0.
Even if the worst happens. I will survive. I have to have very brief
overview done in 2 1/2 weeks. I think I can make it.
