What?!  You don't do a full backup of all data every 10 minutes?!?!

That was the one thing I liked about having an ungodly expensive NetApp 
Filer back in the "good old days".  The periodic data snapshots 
frequently got me out of this kind of situation. 

As Lance mentioned, you used to be able to (in theory) recover data from 
an ext2 file system, but I was never able to accomplish that in practice 
on the couple of occasions where I tried.

Cheers,
