Another one bites the dust

My computer hates me. Seriously. I reformatted 1 of my eternal hard drives only about 3 weeks ago and because it was the best out of the 2 externals I decided that was the one where I should back-up all of my vid projects trimmed files to. Oh what a mistake that was! It's cost me dearly. Saved projects, tutorials, digital juice files - gone. Thank ---- I have the master AVI's. RIP drive you have served me well. I do wish you had given me some warning you were ill though, and then I might have been able to help... or at least taken the burden of my files from you.

Damn.

ETA: I think I jinxed it by mentioning the vid yesterday...

External hard drives are cold-hearted bastards this way, I was also able to recover some data back then with recovery software, but maybe five percent and this was so not worth it. At least I got a new drive because it gave out one week before the guarantee would have ended and I still haven’t learned my lesson, my last complete back up on DVD is a year old and on the other hard drive a month. I really should be more throughout to keep the back ups updated. Guess that means I should make one later tonight and I’m really sorry about this, because it’s such a bitch and if you start thinking about the hours lost? Well, the sledgehammer comes once again to mind…
