Wiped Data

It’s been a while since I was active here. A few weeks back my main data drive got wiped. I’d been moving around with the drive in hand – it slipped, hit the ground, and the HDD died. My PC had been freshly wiped not long before, so I was left with almost no local data and a drive that only made clicky sounds.

As soon as I saw how bad it was, I started rebuilding and digging for backups. I’ve spent the last stretch recreating PSDs, scripts, Unity projects, Substance files, SB3 assets, Blender templates, basic mods – the whole toolbox. I still have plenty left to redo, but at this point I’ve recovered enough essentials to keep working.

I didn’t want to show up empty-handed, so I stayed quiet until I felt sure I could move forward. Sorry for the silence.

The drive itself – I sent it for recovery. The techs were pro, but the platters were scratched and nothing came back - somethign about the magnetic thingy scratchy. I bought a SSD now and managed to scrape a few files from old Mega backups and temp folders. Not much, but enough to ease the load.

It sucked. But, it forced me to streamline my workflow and rethink how I handle projects. Now I’m eager and ready to show you the good stuff that’s coming. ;3

Vanilla the RabbitVanilla the Rabbit is up next - a sweet little victory after the data-wipe mess. I managed to salvage her base files because I was still working on here when moving. Most of what I was able to recover from Mega I could because my HD was getting corrupted everytime I moved files! So I saved a prior version before I lost all. So she skipped most of the rebuild queue and hopped straight to the finish line. I still have plenty of workflow to rebuild, but Vanilla is ready Expect a juicy preview tomorrow and the full drop on Thursday. :3

JudyI know this is very important for you guys and I have good news: I also recovered an older Judy build from a Mega backup - so I lost progress, but not the whole project. I’m redoing mouth expressions, some mesh cleanup, badge and a few scene assets. I kept the KK-friendly approach for performance. If she’s ready, she’ll be here next week. If she slips, I have a backup release queued so you'll have something!

I'll be seeing you later ;3

My external hdd died last year and I lost almost 20 years of files and data. I've been feverishly trying to replace lost files since. A lot of personal history lost. I have noticed though that the biggest threat to the preservation of art seems to be the Artist who make it and the sites that host it, as a lot of Artists have apparently voluntarily wiped their own online presence away or more selectively deleted past works, as well as certain sites suspending or deleting the works or accounts of certain Artists. I managed to salvage quite a bit from Discord which is a good backup if people use it that way.

20 Ys of files and data! That's super tough.

WiFiCC

I want to see the rabbit soon!

SpaghettiTornado

Ouph! Happens to the best of us. Glad you're back bringing happiness to our lives again!

MrDelegado

20 years! That's brutal! Now that I remember about it, I also lost super old files from back when Hongfire existed. Sexy Beach III mods I had stored and forgotten about. XD My condolences for your loss :(

MrDelegado

Thank you for the compliments SpaghettiMan :3

The worst losses are things like old screenshots/photos from old games/mmo's I played which included old Internet Friends I don't see anymore, as well as old game save files and mods, and old art and writing projects. Does anyone remember Bro Quest? I used to manage the threads for that on 4chan, and all the production material we created in those threads is gone now unless someone else comes forward with them. I also lost things like over 1000 custom made Simpsons Reaction images I made in request threads on 4chan's /co/ board. You've probably seen Simpsons images made by me at some point.

I know what it is and it's really annoying. I recommend an extra hard drive to use as a backup, some simple pen drives (2 or 3), also save with them once or twice a week as a backup and that's it.

MrDelegado

Yeah, I know. I'll definitely get some extra backups. I think SSDs are more reliable but I'm still leaving 2 copies on my PC just in case. ':D

MrDelegado

I don't know about thos Simpson images but now I'm curious XD. But I get it now. I lost other stuff that were personal. Super bummer :'v

Greg

oof yea i've had a few corrupt usb/hdd, I recommend disk drill or dmde. If you can figure out booting to linux there are way better and free options as well
