1Star is the best program for automatically recovering
2from system crashes.

4Consider the case where you have a corrupted filesystem and
5no actual backup. It can be repaired with only few manual
6actions by using star. Simply follow the following steps:
7
8
91)	Do a fsck -y to repair the filesystem.
10	Many files will be lost but you may have luck
11	and some/all recent files remain intact.
12
132)	Run star -xp  from the most recent backup you have.
14	This will only extract all files that have been
15	deleted on the fsck -y run.
16
173)	Rewind the tape and run:
18	star -diff -c diffopts=!times
19	to check for file corruptions that have not been
20	detected by the fsck -y run.
21
224)	Do a full backup of the new system to prevent further
23	data loss.
