So. After months of not wanting to touch my system because of VividCon, I finally FINALLY got everything cleared so I could install my sparkly new OS today! Backed up ALL of VividCon to dvd-r, ALL of the ChicagoLoop to dvd-r, and what I *thought* was all of my internal hard drive, both to dvd-r *and* an external drive for safekeeping. Double-checked that all the folders were there.
Wiped internal for perfect, clean, shiny installation, and installed beautiful new OS.
Except.
Somehow (and by "somehow" I mean "I am some kind of HUGE FUCKING MORON for not paying closer attention and thinking things through") I did not back up 1) MY MAILBOXES, and 2) MY MUSIC FOLDER.
Yeah, that would be over 1,000 pieces of mail, and close to 60GB of music, gone.
A fine, fine Sunday all around.
Must. Make. Angrier. Icon.
