Looks like it.

I would suggest that the files with the bad blocks are NOT deleted,
if we create /BAD_BLOCKS and move the affected files there and then
restore the files from backup.

Documentation of backups in:

	/root/Documentation/Backups

Someone else please do it:

1) I'm busy/lazy
2) It will test the backup documentation that I wrote.
