Jack Sawyer Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 Sorry to hear this Stewart. I would invest in an external hard drive after this and use a good backup/restore program for just such a problem. What does this scanning program actually besides scan? Will it scan and restore? I hope you get it sorted soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dadtom65 Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 That’s what you call a bummer. I have copies of Fltsim stuff on a 1tb external Ssd though not my Orbx items. Didn’t think we should have to do that with having FTX Central or perhaps I should. Derek. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffy Foster Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 Are the files in your Recycle Bin, though? I think deleted files can be recovered as long as you didnt write lots of stuff to the disk afterward? Like this kind of thing: https://beebom.com/how-recover-deleted-files-windows-10/ Keeping your registrations in a little text file on Dropbox or OneDrive or whatever is a good way to not lose them. You can even back up your downloaded sceneries. Then even if something really bad happens to your house, your files are safe. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
