That loud screaming you hear - is just a failer of my backup system. Stupid computers. ~.~

So - I got the surprise of my life recently. Some time ago, one of the machines that holds a lot of our household backups died. We have been recovering a lot of files and such so I though everything was fine.

But in compiling the Ebin and May Graphic Novel, I found that one of the chapters working files were missing. I got real lucky and found print ready files else wear on my harddrive in a different folder I had complied just for doing the GN, else they would have been gone too.

And today - I found all my working files for Liberty from Hell gone as well. This really craps me out because I was hoping to reprocess them into their original sepia toned washes for web/Digital Download. But the shear thought of completely recreating the digital files from scratch I think is more work than it's worth.

Lesson learned - be more anal about backups of my projects.

*grumph*

After typing this I realize I've lost *all* files for Boarspear, the LFH short that ran in Dangerous.

I do, however have all of the original art. No hard-drive failures will take that down! Bwahahahaha!

The final, send to printer files are still good. I had burned them off to CD when I sent them to the printers and made copies for myself. But all my working files which make PDF conversions painless are *poof*. T-T

O:( That's awful. Is there anything a fan can do to help?

Thanks archangelbeth - but alas, there's not much anyone can do...

except remind me to back up my files more religiously. ^.^;

[archangelbeth]

Burn those PDF versions to CD, too!

Good luck.
