  • Darn and blast it crontab -r error

    From TheCivvie@314:413/30 to All on Mon May 19 16:24:24 2025
    I never knew that crontab -r existed until this afternoon when I wanted to edit my bbs's crontab. And no way to restore it, as I don't, well didn't, back it up.

    Maybe photorec can get it back for you.

    I had been meaning to tidy it up anyway. Forced my hand I guess :)

    Must download photorec again anyway. Does it work with ssd?

    Ah yes, I have that one. Cannot remember when I used it last as I tend to do 2 rsync backups off all my devices, one locally and one remote. Saved me a few times
