Do you make backups? Do you run ZFS? Do you use Bacula? Do you use dd?

Your method is important for you. What's also important is testing how a restore works.

I lost a partition less than 30 minutes ago. I have a simple tgz backup of the important data on another drive, not an SSD, no a HDD.

I lost zero bytes of data.

Please make sure your backup and restore systems work.

When your recovery tool says the partition is lost, only your backup will save you.

Mine did

The image shows a terminal window displaying the output of the TestDisk 7.1 data recovery utility. The utility is running on a Linux system The top of the window contains the utility's name, version, and copyright information, along with the author's email address and website. Below this, the utility is analyzing a hard disk identified as /dev/sdb, which is reported to have a capacity of 250 GB, but the utility suggests it might be 232 GB, 323 GB, or 300 GiB. The utility notes that the hard disk size seems too small and suggests checking the hard disk size, HD jumper settings, and BIOS detection.

The output lists three partitions that cannot be recovered, all labeled as "MS Data" and formatted as NTFS with a block size of 4096. The partitions are shown with their start and end sectors, and their sizes in sectors. The first partition starts at sector 488392703 and ends at sector 630994935, with a size of 142602233 sectors. The second partition starts at sector 488396792 and ends at sector 631003120, with a size of 142606329 sectors. The third partition starts at sector 488396799 and ends at sector 631003127, with a size of 142606329 sectors. The total size of these partitions is 73 GB, but the utility notes that it is 67 GiB.

At the bottom of the window, there is a prompt asking the user to "Continue," indicating that the user can proceed with the recovery process or exit the utility.

I'm still amazed by the power / speed yet paradoxical simplicity of FluxBox

I've seen many Window and Desktop Managers in the past decades.
For as far as I remember; this is the only Window manager FluxBox, which enables multiple monitor background choosing in the login requester screens out of the box, I repeat OUT OF THE BOX

 The photograph composed in total darkness, features two IPS LED panels displaying different scenes against a black background. The top screen shows a vibrant sunset with a sky painted in shades of purple, pink, and blue, with a narrow strip of land visible in the center. The bottom screen displays a sepia-toned image of a cloudy sky with a structure, possibly a small building or monument (Sluis in NL language), silhouetted against the sky. The screens are angled and positioned diagonally, creating a dynamic composition. The top screen has a small black rectangle with white text in the center, while the bottom screen shows a more muted color palette with earthy tones.
