That's a problem. If you have a friend you trust (and who has more space) maybe you can take your external drive over there and try recovering. When you think about it, that would be an even better test since your worst case scenario would involve restoring to a completely new server anyway. Otherwise, I guess what you're doing (asking everyone to double-check your command) is the way to go.
