- Which is better recovery rate than what I get from FFS when I did try
- it. Restoring from backups is much more reliable and much safer.

- Anytime you try salvaging a deleted file you risk the chance that part
- of that deleted file was overwritten by another. The more disk activity
- since you deleted that file the greater the risk. Regular backups is
- the key, not disk salvage utilities.
