Dario Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 Yesterday my PC decided to stop working. It will be sent to technical assistance soon. Worst of all, I didn't have a backup (I usually backup my working computer, not my gaming computer - I know, it's dumb). So, if I lose everything, it will be a long way to configure the sims and to make them work and look as they previously did. My recommendation for you all (couldn't be more obvious): backup, backup, and backup again !!!!!!!! The picture below is from the wonderful Walter Sutton airfield for XP11.

Jack Sawyer Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 Nice shot Dario and very sad to hear this. I use Acronis religiously. Five internal SSD's and six external HD's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M110A2 Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 Nice shot Dario, that's gotta hurt. Sorry to hear this. We have NovaBACKUP on five computers for just over a 100 USD billed annually for one year of service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that's the price for being dumb!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am super serious about backing up my main computer, I can't explain why I didn't do the same with the PC dedicated to flight sims... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
renault Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 Hoping for the best for you Hopefully it is non disk related. Also there are disk recovery services that while expensive can often work wonders. Fingers crossed Cheers Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andy1252 Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 Sorry to hear that, Dario, but like Pete and Martyn said - you may be able to recover a lot of it if the drive(s) survive(s). Fingers crossed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But even with the serials, all the downloads, installations, configurations etc need to be done again.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
