Let this be a warning to all COMPUTER users in general to always backup important data and do it often.
If running Linux you may want to consider making seperate partitions for /home - this can also help alleviate the risks involved.

I know it can happen in Windows, but because I've grown up with MS stuff driven into my skull, it's a lot easier (and quicker) to restore back to "normal".
Running /home in a seperate partition. I can't believe I didn't even think of that, what an idiot. I'll probably do the same w/ /etc. Thanks for pointing out an obvious suggestion!
