Well, I accidentally deleted the majority of my files for Pokemon Kunzite, Hiddenite and Bakelite when I thoughtlessly decided to wipe my Windows 7 partition to do a clean install of Windows 8.
So for like the zillionth time, I'm back to square one. Maybe next time I'll be smart enough to make a backup. But for right now, I don't have the willpower to start up the project again from scratch. I'm gonna take a break from it for a while… life's about to get pretty hectic for me and I won't have much time to work on it anyway.In less than a month, I'll be leaving for Japan. And I'll be there for about 3 years, minus the time I'll be underway. Which is awesome, but at the same time also kinda sucks. But whatever, it'll be interesting either way.Also, for whatever reason, I bought Toon Boom Animate on a whim. Not exactly sure why, but I'll find something to do with it. To test out the software, I already made an animation of a penis becoming erect and then ejaculating. Pretty amusing. But my wallet is looking at me like this:
So yeah, that's all. lol
I have Dropbox, but I never use it for backing things up. I mainly use it as an all-around uploading service, therefore I usually don't put my projects in there unless I'm sending it to someone else; the amount of times I save my stuff would likely run up my limited bandwidth (excuses, excuses).
I back up my stuff at least a few times a year, usually just on a backup hard drive or thumbdrive =p
i've lost important files to computers dying countless times so i can sympathize… but i'm going to be a dick like Steven and not, lolol.
Qwilder, BP Scraps sounds like your rap name.Windows 3 >= Windows 8
tbhI'm jelly of the japan thing. >:(Like what most users said above me, dropbox is a very good choice. I just started using dropbox and it works flawless & awesome. And yet I'm a Windows 8 user. If you want to recover, this bad muthafocker will do the work as you command.
Is it strange that I find it sort of scary that restoring lost files from wiped hard-drives is even possible?
@Rolf Nope, you should be scared. Plenty of fraud has occurred using hard drives which people thought were "wiped". It's even more serious for businesses - most of the time they just physically destroy them.
In the navy? Are you the same guy who used to blog about massive huge lists of games and stuff which you were going to buy?
That would be me.
