I had a major blue screen harddrive kill all crash.
Things were backed up but on the separate drive not any external one, and due to the severity I couldn't repair the OS and save/back-up the files. The end game is everything is lost all my forum images & templates - not just this one but any forum I've ever created, my Renegade stuff, almost my entire backed up M<inecraft stuff my photography pictures - everything. With help I've got the PC running again but this is a severe warning shot. Within the next week I will be buying a more modern external to back things up on and ultimatly continue to save because in 6 months time I could end up needing to buy a new harddrive.
There is hope... Right now even though I've lost my temlates for adobe/forum stuff, I'm going to my free image hosts and tediously saving what i've uploaded - forum stuff, renegade stuff, art photos etc. After work today I plan to take my current limited extenrnal harddrive and plug it in one of my old computers in the bedroom just long enough to hopefully pull some old stuff from it. The stuff will be a cou0ple of years out of date - but it's a start.
Wish me luck because this is going to be a very long process!

I'm so sorry. My tablet recently broke and I nearly lost my mind because I lost some dear pictures that I had not yet saved to Google Drive. I can't imagine losing as much as you did. I hope things work out as well as possible.

Thanks Amanda, I have a UBS stick now and 256GB for back up but am still on the long haul of getting my images of the various hosts I've used over the years.

That sucks Hoist. Losing data sucks. I hope you recover all that you can and that it isn't too much work.

The greatest loss was the Renegade stuff. Some I have backed up on hosts, much older stuff on a CD-RW but I haven't had a disc drive for at least the last couple of computers, they've gone the way of the dodo. More recent colourings of custom characters and templates are gone but I'm stilol trying to recover as much old stuff from image hosts as possible.
