Data backup

[jens]

Seems I am having a conversation with myself here .... hopefully it is of 
some value to other people.

Anyway, I DID FIND my main file witrh all the data intact after all !!!!! 
YEAH !!!!!  Seems that when I dumped all the deleted inodes to files (3200 of 
them) I made a tactical error - the first thing I did was to cull all files 
that couldn't possibly be data files. In my case those were files with a 
picture icon, html icon and source file icon under Konqueror. All the 
remaining files were searched for some key words (and a number of relevant 
files were found)
Well, it seems that Konqueror thinks that the main files are of an html type 
and I never scanned those for any key words since they were the first to go.
A re-scan of all the files finally found the data file. 

I would still like to hear about reading log files into GnuCash  .....

Thanks for all the help guys !

Jens
