I hardly ever lose data.  I don't alias rm or cp or mv or anything
else, I'm just good at typing what I mean.

But on the rare occasions that I do lose data, it's almost always
because I overwrite a file inside an application or something like
that, which aliasing commands wouldn't help with.  I think the
technology under discussion here does preserve overwritten data
and would help.

Matt, backing up as he types this.
