jbs30000 #1 Posted June 5, 2010 No important info here, I'm just venting a little. I was working on a bB version of the Journey arcade game. Granted, I didn't have much, but I had a cool graphic of the head on the "Frontiers" album that's on the arcade game. It was two images flickering together to make one. I even had the main screen with the five planets for each player, and was working on the Steve Smith drum game. Then a couple of days ago my hard drive died on me. I bought a new one but was unable to copy anything from the dead drive. So it's gone. I don't even have a backup . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
accousticguitar #2 Posted June 5, 2010 Thank goodness you weren't too far along. I try to back up every day when working on games. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ls650 #3 Posted June 5, 2010 Don't just backup to a second drive; upload really important files to somewhere on the Internet. Even if your computer and backup are destroyed in a fire or flood, those files are still safe on a server hundreds of miles away. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+Random Terrain #4 Posted June 5, 2010 Don't just backup to a second drive; upload really important files to somewhere on the Internet.

Remembering to do it before it's too late is the hard part. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jbs30000 #5 Posted June 5, 2010 Yeah, I have a Windows Live Workspace. I guess I need to remember to upload my programs to it from now on. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
