I hate computers!!!!

[Mazza]

Three days ago, I was sorting out some stuff on my main PC, and ended up losing some files including the whole spreadsheet file of what I have bought, when, mileage, part numbers etc etc which I started when I bought the ZED.
It was a record of everything I have done and spent...
gone and no way recoverable.

Then yesterday my Ipad went all weird, and I lost all 376 pictures most of which were all the records of working on the Zed. Luckily today by searching on ‘HOW TO Recover Ipad stuff, managed to retrieve them.

I’m sure the problem is me.....but I have no idea why it happened, which is worrying, as I could well do it again

Stick to what you're good at @Mazza, rescuing sick Zeds.

I hate computers too, almost as much as I hate cars.

Just keep backup, and backups of backups.

And don't forget to update those backups regularly.

I have mine stored locally, on the cloud, and on automated backups - unfortunately most if it is useless crap, but I'm a data hoarder.

 

[Mazza]

Computer terms? Really..??

I though .....

.......the cloud .....thats where rain comes from

........back up.........thats what I do when I come across a tractor on a narrow road

Get a NAS Server and have it set up for mirroring then if a drive goes down you still have it on the other one

Computers couldn’t agree more Pen&Paper it’s the future

I could always allege to the police you have 'dodgy' pornography,
they will recover all the files for you

I have a son that is a bit of a wiz on computers, he lives just outside Norwich, I also have a stepson, who is a Technology Lecturer, working out in Qatar.........
Thats the trouble with kids, when they finally become useful to you, they bu**er off

there used to be an old program in the days of d.o.s. 6.2 showing my age now called undelete, and there was a few other programs called norton and pc tools that could retrieve deleted files as they not really deleted they are just marked to be over written when the space is needed there may be a way of recovering that file...

have a look on internet, i dont even use microsoft operating systems now as theres better operating systems about than that.. and dont talk to me about internet explorer what a pile of crap...

My lad is a Computer Tech and has recovered files the wife has accidentally deleted on her Laptop on numerous occasions, so they can be restored just need someone who knows how

Back up to at least one if not two portable hard drives and you can then be super reassured by backing up to the iCloud.

And so you know, while you think the files are gone forever, they are recoverable. You need to find someone who can recover everything you've lost - and keep away from the Delete button! Joking aside, it could be a glitch or the hard drive or any number of things.
