Excessive Loss of Blood

[Doctor-Dos]

After a severe Hard Drive Crash. I lost my almost completed Blood TC forever.

It's sad to read that.

That's because I make a lot of backups in diferent computers. It saved my mod of a trouble like that.

Just use online servers to hold archives of your wads. Something like http://wadhost.fathax.com/ or even http://www.archive.org/ . Hopefully your developing version is not much of a major update.

Ponders the size of a typical project.
Thinks about the snail's-pace speed of my internet connection.
Considers the use of the word "just".

Use SVN. Typical code updates are usually less than 10kB upload. Only major graphical changes/additions (and of course the initial commit) are larger.

And as a bonus, you will have complete history of your project accessible online. And also it makes collaboration with other much easier.

There are many free SVN hosts around the web.

It saved me A LOT of trouble with my projects.

I use DropBox for most of my projects. I know it only holds 2GB (now 3 thanks to invites), so for the rest of the data I'll have to schedule some backups.

Another lesson of 'Make backups - often!'

And if it's just copying the data to a USB drive. It's enough to restore it if your HD crashes.


Never. Ever. Trust your HD as the sole place to store important data.

Yes I forgot the old rule...

"There are two kinds of people, those who have lost data and those who will".

Well, I guess I will begin a different project

And thanks for understanding and not flaming me! I am sorry to disappoint those (few as they were) who anxiously awaited and supported this project. It is DEAD for now... I will just have to wait until it is "resurrected".

There will be Blood! Eveventually
