Unfortunately I failed to learn the lesson until about the fourth time of losing everything!

Thanks to VastOne for this "great recovery tool" as you guys are calling it, or, as I like to refer to it, my "GoTo" or the best OS I've ever personally ran! Since at least the summer of 2012 I'd say. This is by far the longest period of time running the same OS! And, most of the time, now, I just plug in the 4Tb hdd and pick and choose which .fsa file to restore! I do one every few days now unless I'm doing something special and I've been know to create an .fsa file every hour or so. My OS, (VSIDO) is actually loaded with tools I don't even know are there!

However, that said, word has it that I know the owner!!! So not only has VSIDO the OS personally saved my data life, the guy that created it has step by stepped me through untold and countless errors or breakages of my own design as well! And the community still here is a pretty impressive FEATURE not mentioned often enough 'cough cough' PackRat and company!
Long live fsarchiver!
