+Dave Posted January 11, 2009 Posted January 11, 2009 You backed up all your files? I am doing it right now. Wouldn't hurt to do so. Mine will take 3 dual layer DVD-R's and about 2 hours but its worth it. So why are you not backing your stuff up NOW? Quote
kct Posted January 11, 2009 Posted January 11, 2009 Just backed up my installation like hours ago. Quote
mppd Posted January 11, 2009 Posted January 11, 2009 Oh, I don't need to back my files up, my hard drive has never crashed.... Quote
kct Posted January 11, 2009 Posted January 11, 2009 (edited) Oh, I don't need to back my files up, my hard drive has never crashed.... Dohoho~ Always expect the unexpected. Like an eel invasion. Edited January 11, 2009 by kct Quote
+Stary Posted January 11, 2009 Posted January 11, 2009 Oh, I don't need to back my files up, my hard drive has never crashed.... There's always first time :yes: and this one ain't nice contrary to other ones I do backups on regular monthly shedule, ussually 2 DVDs of stuff Quote
+christian59 Posted January 11, 2009 Posted January 11, 2009 all my files are in 2 separate DD and some time saved on DVD-RW Quote
+Florian Posted January 11, 2009 Posted January 11, 2009 Oh, I don't need to back my files up, my hard drive has never crashed.... We don´t need jet engines, you can never beat the sound barrier... But it happened, didn´t it? Only when you have never owned and never will own a PC, you can say honestly "my HD will never crash"! Quote

Viggen Posted January 11, 2009 Posted January 11, 2009 I want to take all my installs off my HD, I need to go to BestBuy and get some flashdrives and disks first Quote
+wilco Posted January 11, 2009 Posted January 11, 2009 Thanks for the reminder, Dave, didn't do this for quite a long time. Quote
+FastCargo Posted January 11, 2009 Posted January 11, 2009 Did a big reorg and triple backup of all my projects 2 days ago. I feel so much better... FC Quote
malibu43 Posted January 11, 2009 Posted January 11, 2009 You backed up all your files? I am doing it right now. Wouldn't hurt to do so. Mine will take 3 dual layer DVD-R's and about 2 hours but its worth it. So why are you not backing your stuff up NOW? Because I just did it about a week ago! My WOE, WOV, Falklands 1982, WOK, OTC, and LBIII installs all fit on 1 DVD. Another DVD to back up the .rar files for all the downloads in case I need any of them. Quote
charlielima Posted January 11, 2009 Posted January 11, 2009 A friend of mine lost his external hard drive. Work and personel pictures and maps. He was able to get them back because he shared them all. Most of us either saved them in our hard drive or where to lazy to delete or save them from E-Mail. I'm currently loading my mods and stuff I tweaked for myself on a 8Gig thumb drive. I don't trust disk drives. :ph34r: CL Quote
+Dave Posted January 11, 2009 Author Posted January 11, 2009 This pic is not as direct as one Dave used to post. Yeah it was more than a request but like a direct order! NOW STARTING BACKING YOUR STUFF UP YOU MAGGOTS!!!!!!! Quote
eraser_tr Posted January 11, 2009 Posted January 11, 2009 *correction TEH SERVAR My install has become so unspeakably massive that it's just plain impossible to do, so I just back up personal tweaks that aren't replaceable. Quote
+SkippyBing Posted January 11, 2009 Posted January 11, 2009 If you do a google search for back-up scripts or Synctoy 2.0 you can set yourself up a nice little automated backup system. It's probably best to have a second hard drive to guard against that failing but either method will let you run a back up at a set interval that'll copy files that have changed to your back-up directory. Currently the directories I have stuff that I'm working on, models etc. get backed up once a day, onto a network drive in another machine (because I'm paranoid and I can) and less critical stuff on a weekly or monthly basis. It's well worth it if only for the piece of mind and will happily run in the background as a scheduled process. Quote
