@tom @KitRedgrave @ravenna throwback to when I tried to make a 'backup' of my iPhone 3GS by doing 'tar czvf /backup.tgz /', then realized it would backup the tgz file and grow forever, so I rmed the tgz file, then being tired I thought I could just
mv /* /tmp
tar czvf /backup.tgz /tmp
mv /tmp/* /
I ran the first command, understood my error, and spent the night restoring the iPhone
