Let this be a reminder to everyone: If you want to do something to your
system that might cause dataloss, it's a good idea to run:
uudecode backup < /dev/rda0s1c | mail yourname%yourhost@tin.it
before you do it. Doing so will provide you with a reliable,
persistent, and easily retrievable backup of your hard disk
which can be restored by booting from the Live Filesystem CD-ROM,
putting /etc on an MFS, and putting this into /etc/aliases:
yourname: "| /usr/bin/uudecode > /dev/rda0s1c"
After a short wait, your hard disk will be restored. What could be
simpler?
