Please explain how do you plan to recover *all* the data using EXP?
You don't make an export every 5 seconds, do you?
So how on earth can you state you can use EXP to 'recover' anything?
This post is not only nonsense, it is just quite outright dangerous.
Someone may be following up your advice, and get kicked out because of
