    This is a disease of GUIs. Most people are so used to having their hands held and being unable to make a mistake that when a GUI actually gives you the power to fuck up they don’t expect it. I promise you, if this user was using the CLI, this wouldn’t have happened as easily.

      I promise you, if this user was using the CLI backed up their files, this wouldn’t have happened as easily.

        That too, but it seems like this was them attempting to back up their files. They just critically failed.

          Using a program that’s not designed to be a backup solution that you are also unfamiliar with sounds even worse. Lol
