Main HDD In My Main DAW PC May Have Just Died.

And that's why I've invested in a service called Carbonite to securely back up all of my data on my main machine offsite with an easy way to get it all back if I need to, everything is recovered by logging on to the application and hitting the recover button, I even went from clearing an entire drive and recovering it all (about 150gb worth of documents, photos, music, mixes and applications) without a problem!

Nice to know you have an action plan Nomis, hard drive fails suck!

I totally agree with you mate, HDD fails are the pits, Microsoft offer something similar to Carbonite, called One Drive, when you upgrade from previous versions of Windows to Windows 10, only problem with that is they only give you about 8Gb of storage space to begin with and then they ask for more money for more storage space, to be honest, I don't use One Drive all that much cause it's a Cloud system, so if your internet goes down so does your data, but the whole idea behind it is cool, maybe I should sign myself up to Carbonite.



It looks like my plan has been a resounding success, my main DAW PC is back up and running again, I just need to wait till Windows has finished updating and then I can start working on getting all my DAW software re-installed, there's some other good news, I haven't lost any of the Audio Loops I've collected, since they were all on a separate HDD, there's a big folder with about 110 Gb worth of Audio Loops on it, pretty glad I didn't lose that.
