back that shit up bro
my computer was running fine one day i didnt have a problem in the world, didnt think i had anything to worry about. then the next day it started getting slower and slower then i tried to back up my stuff and it gave me error messages for the backup....and now i get to start over

This happened to me about a month ago. I almost cried as i had 2 tunes almost finished and lost them forever along with a lot of samples, edited breaks, presets, and other shit I can never have again.

external hard drives are pretty cheap now a days and is worth a lot more to me then $100 to have all of my samples, vst's, program set ups and project backed up.

From time to time I do enjoy the feeling of a fresh start and make myself go about working differently

bought a TB drive for 50 £.... and it's cool it has a backup funktion on it self..... i learnd to like this things, on every computer change are all files gon, especially when the computer is not startabl anymore because of a virus or thing -.-

is anyone familiar with the online harddrive called "dropbox"? supposivley its free? or cheap?

what happened ? ... u can probably still fix it ...

if u have a pc buy 2 hard drives. one for windows and programs, the other for music.

if windows goes you will still have all your shit

i honestly can't figure out what happened. my computer got extremely slow within probably a week. after i realized it wouldnt even let me back it up i took it to a pro computer dude who is luckily a friend of mine...he said it all lead back to the hard drive but couldnt pinpoint it. i found a nice 320gb for like 45 bucks so picked that up....gettin XP instead of vista tomorrow and re installing ableton...in theory, i should be good to go

i need a smilie for a little praying dude

For the record dont ever have a few too many n sit your laptop in front of a sub!!

Did that once, woke up, did this

dropbox is awesome for sharing files with ease but it won't do much good as file storage, you only get 2 gb free.

School boy error!!!

keep hearing horror stories about HDs fucking up recently, i think i better have another backup session, I only have my older tracks that I don't care too much about backed up.
a good thing i can think of starting fresh is that a lot of bits that you never used but held onto are out the way and also I think maybe could be a change in direction maybe, thats what i found when this happened to me a while ago.

definitely back up those new tracks.
i think it'll be a good fresh start.
maybe this time i'll organize a little better. hehe

i imagine b/c the hd wouldnt boot he'll still be able to access the data via another bootable hd.

did u have itunes installed lol bc my old pc did exactly the same and i havnt installed itunes and it works fine now

didnt have itunes on there, it was a brand new machine with only vista, ableton, and some drivers for my midi and interface...confuses the shit outta me why this happened. for now im just blaming vista

rule in the studio is if it's not in 3 different places, it doesn't exist.

that being said i haven't backed up my work in forever. fingers crossed for now
