Thanks for the quick restoral, Jerry!
I wonder if it's possible to do a 'diff' on the tree of articles (old/new,
where "old" points at the backup) to see if any others accidentally went
missing (ignoring files that match the name "1" or "2")? Something like
this maybe:
diff \
<(cd old && find . -type f ! \( -name 1 -o -name 2 \) | sort) \
<(cd new && find . -type f ! \( -name 1 -o -name 2 \) | sort)
