This one I just remembered while doing the 900 one.
CLO EUS only had an 80mb hard drive on their main UNIX computer in 1990. It filled up rather quickly, particularly with the keylogger I had programmed and built into all my other programs.
I had to do cleaning maintenance on it regularly so it wouldn't run out of space. I tar'ed everything I could and deleted vast chunks of wasted space.
1 night, I was deleting some stuff and accidentally used a * in the A-Data Aide's directory because I forgot to change to where I wanted to do that. OOOOPS, I wiped out the entire A-Data Aide's directory.
I had to try to rebuild it and do an amends for John after that. Boy was he pissed when I told him what happened.
That was the day I started to learn how to do tar backups to floppies instead of directories on the computer only. I always had 5 sets of Tared backups of the entire computer system after that. I would run a backup every 3rd or 4th night.
