I didn't take any offense to anything you said, but even if I had,
there's no need to apologize to me - you're understandably under some
stress because of all this, and so long as a person doesn't delve into
personal attacks, I'll not get offended and/or hold grudges.

The biggest concern I have is trying to get you to see that your backup
and restore practice is a big part of the problem, and I just don't see
a good way to do that without *me* being, or at least coming across as,
harsh.
