Things did not work out as intended
I really have to start a reliable and above all automatic backup regime.
I lost 4 weeks of unsaved work and unread mail 2 weeks ago. I am still recovering from it. What I did wrong you ask? Nothing, beside mkfs.reiserfs /dev/hda3 hda3 being my main partition and hda5 which I wanted to format my playground partition. I know about --rebuild-tree, for the record: It is useless on ReiserFS. I am running on ext3 now.
Since the only thing the stupid DVD burner in my laptop can burn in a reliable way is DVD-RAM, I bought some of those. Figuring out a backup cycle which is O.K. for me. I know enough about backup cycles for companies or entities like that. I am organized different from a company, so I have to cope with my screwed workflow.
This takes a bit, since I wonder if it is better to change my workflow (increase in productivity?) or adjust my backup to what I am used to 
ATM, I try to adjust my workflow. Would result in saner sleep patterns, too.
