Unfortunately one of the disks in my development computer hard-crashed the next day, dead, dead, dead. Nothing was recoverable. Not to worry, I have backups of everything important. It still took more than a week to figure out that the disk was really gone, and then get everything up and running, transferring all the licenses to the new configuration, etc.

I should have something interesting posted in a week or so. Big changes coming to Anim8or this fall!

Note: I use Carbonite for backing up my computer. It worked very well. 38 GB of data restored with the click of a button! Thank goodness that I have a Giga-Bit fiber connection at home :)  So if anyone is looking for a good cloud-based backup service, I highly recommend Carbonite. It cost $59/year for unlimited data on 1 PC and runs almost unnoticed in the background. (They should give me a discount for this plug :) )

October must be the month of Hard drive failures. I bought a brand new one that took a dive. No personal data, but I am having to re-write some of my an8 code for Game Maker. And THAT is annoying, but alas. it could have been worse! :D glad to hear you could get a backup going, though!

glad to hear I'm not the only one I meant to say, I feel your pain.  :P
I'm trying to do a platter swap with a hard drive with some MAJOR important data (my whole life in the past 7 years pretty much)

Yup. That's why doing backups frequently is essential, especially when you're working on an important project.

FWIW, Western Digital disks currently come with access to a limited-function version of Acronis. It takes about half an hour to backup 150 GB on my Windows computer, going from an internal SSD to an external 3TB disk.
