test your backups, people

We tell people to use source code control.  This week I tried to commit changes to my vendor's SVN server only to have the connection fail.  A quick email and I find that the RAID in the server hosting my repo has failed and they're rebuilding it.  A few days later and they haven't yet completed the rebuild, but told me that their backup is no good and the only copy of my code is the code I have right now.  So much for history.
