I had a folder that contained all my source gp5 and finale files and now it's completely gone. Luckily most of the stuff is here but the source is gone. I wanted to make some substantial changes to the suikoden passacaglia and now have to start over. And not to mention all the stuff I had been working on in progress. :evil:

I don't know I think someone might've deleted the folder accidentally. My son likes to play with the laptop. And I always empty my recycle bin. Argh!

Voila! In view humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is a vestige of the “vox populi” now vacant, vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a bygon

I have all my music backed up in MP3s on my external hard drive, so the only thing really valuable to me that isn't backed up is all my Audacity projects and a hundred or so pictures.

I had that same exact shit happen to me the other day. Luckily I saved another copy of it some where else.

That's absolutely horrible, Ron...you've inspired me to go buy a flash drive tomorrow devoted solely to backing up my guitar files like Enterim. You have my sympathies :cry:

Way to make me live in fear, I now have a couple hundred MB of my stuff stored on an SD card locked in a desk.

I back up this site pretty much every day. If there's one thing I've learned from dealing with valuable data it's that YOU CAN NEVER BACK UP ENOUGH!

there are some programs that SOMETIMES can bring stuff back, even though it's been deleted from you computer. I used one one time and even though only a few files that I wanted were recoverable, it was better than nothing. Google it I guess. Don't get your hopes up but you maaay get lucky.

Yea, I gave a few of those a go too. Couldn't get back the files I needed tho. Maybe i didn't use the best app for the job, but those files are history now for sure. :)

While it's truly sad that you lost those (I know the feeling's even worse when you lost something in progress), the best way to back something up is to distribute it widely. e.g., post it in the zip files here on gametabs. Chances are someone will have the file if it gets lost, at the very least archard will have it backed up.
