Hi Rich, does this clue assume knowledge of some radio show ?

Not really a cryptic clue then

It can be solved without following the link too.

Yep,
I always pick up a few SBC this time of year to play around with. Experimenting with a Rock64 and flashing a Debian image onto a micro-SD card. I forgot to change the USB device in the combo box and just overwrote the partition on my external hard drive with a Debian image.

Well,
I already restored from a two week old backup. Looks like I lost about two weeks (80 hours or so) worth of work, the drive held some of my personal projects that I was working on over the holidays.
I am still doing damage assessment. But I think I can quickly re-write most of what was lost.

Yikes.
My holiday plans include taking the time to back up some systems I've been neglecting for a while. I can just picture getting myself into that sort of situation...If that happens, I think I'll take up heavy drinking. I just no longer have the energy these days to re-do something I've already done, especially for personal projects done over holidays.

Try writing an entire software to simulate a Movie rental website for an AP class, then you duplicate it to change it to a the text file, and when you name the text file copy, you name it the same name, and it overwrites ALL of your code, which I spent a good 150 hours on give or take, and you lose all of that code......

Heh,
Worse. I guess the Debian image has multiple partitions. I knew something was wrong when Explorer suddenly showed H: I: J: K: L: drives.

If you can keep your head while those about you are losing theirs, perhaps you don't understand the situation.

I had a (fortunately fairly minor) disaster a couple of weeks ago. I hate long file paths so map them to drive letters; e.g. C:\inetpub\wwwroot\Personal can be accessed via P:\ I'm doing some historical research and had about 600 images saved in a folder on the P: "drive". I went to delete one, but had somehow inadvertently pressed ctrl-A before delete, thereby deleting everything. "No big deal" thought I, "I'll just un-delete from the recycle bin". It took a little while for it to dawn on me that stuff deleted from a mapped drive does NOT get put in the recycle bin.
   
Fortunately 95% of the pics had already been uploaded to the related website, so I just downloaded and all was well. Some were still under review and I have no backup of some of them, though in many cases notes on where to find them from elsewhere.
100% my fault; all now backed up and secured, and I don't work on a mapped drive anywhere I can delete stuff (e.g. Win Explorer). You live and learn!

When you delete a file in Windows the file isn't really deleted, the entry is simply removed from the MFT[^]. You can easily recover deleted files. If the USN Journal[^] is enabled on your partition then recovering is exceeding easy. 
There are a few articles here on codeproject showing how to recover files, just search for "USN Journal NTFS"[^]
Text files are extremely difficult to find with forensics tools.
I couldn't use this technique because the Debian image overwrote everything at the beginning of the drive, all partitions, MFT and parts of the USN Journal. I could have used a forensics suite to recover files with known header/footer structures. But the problem with .H and .CPP files is that they are ultimately just pure text with nothing to uniquely identify the file type. It would be a nightmare to perform forensics to recover text files. It's a 4TB drive too. Would probably take longer to locate those source files than it would take to just re-write them.
I had a backup so I ultimately only lost about two weeks worth of code.
Best Wishes,
-David Delaune
