Most peeps do not have a daily backup - me included. The data are everything. Try to get that locked down first. Then trouble shoot.

I'm currently working my way through a messed up Linux Mint 17.2 update that hosed the video drivers. Linux has no undo update function. So far I loaded Mint 18 on a spare SSD to get the comouter up and running. Much is on Virtual Boxen so transferring *.vdi files should regain most functionality whilst figguring out how to fix the broken files.

I learned in 1992 that one needed to have a second comouter to be able to look stuff up to fix a "broken" primary computer.

OMG,I do that but never told anyone because I figured they would consider it an “Old lady thing”-—and I’m an old lady.

It has been VERY helpful.
