This really sucks
 

Been years since this has happened, but my main laptop caught a cold or something and now I am having to use sys restore disk.

All bookmarks, passwords, everything . . . gone.



I am going to bed. :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

That sucks ass. Good luck.

Fuck bro... I feel the pain... I lost my main render whore on a raid 0 last week.... still feeling the pinch this week...

this is a great day for the internet :thumbsup

I think you are talking about bookmarks and passwords saved in firefox, right? If yes, this happens sometimes due to improper shutdown of system when firefox is open, use FEBE plugin to automatic backup your firefox profile all the time.

Had happened to me once, it sucks :(

I've been there brother. The sad thing is, I pulled all the drives and even numbered them, and they sit right here to my right... mocking me. I figure one day I'll plug them into an older machine recover the raid then kill it... We'll see who has the last laugh then!

that's really shitty

luckily it was 1 of 4... easy swap in and out on esata to recover... but 500gbs down stings...

I'm hoping to step up to 750 or 1 tbs on the render whore this week to eliminate any further complications...

After loosing all my bookmarks several times because of browser crashes, I have long ago started to use del.icio.us for bookmarks.

Ouch.. sorry to hear

:( oh that was. I feel for you baddog.

I know the feeling all to well:disgust

That's fucked up...

LMAO...hahaha thts funny:1orglaugh

:Oh crap

It's not a cold, just to much pups stuck in it.

Stop posting naked and you should be just fine ;-)

that sucks dude...it does happened to me and i just can't figure out where to start..so the next time i surely have a back up somewhere (etc email) of my accounts...

That sucks... gotta back that stuff up. :-)

If my laptop goes dark, im in the shitter...damn! gotta take some backup!

No, not firefox, everything. As in, system restore back to out of the box state.

Oh, I have an image of the drive and backups, but the last backup was maybe two weeks ago because I kept leaving town and did not hook it back up. Luckily, most of the really important emails go thru our ticket system so they are stored away on a server.

I have had the same thing happen. Sucks balls.

I switched to a webmail system and moved my trillian to a flash drive so that I would not loose mail and message histories if and when a drive fails. FEBE was the only thing missing so thanks for suggesting it Vick!

been there man. it forced me to go to roboform to go. it backsup everything on a flash drive, encrypted, you take it anywhere you go. i have all i.e. ff and passwords for 600 some odd sites on a flash drive now. i learned the hard way. do yourself a big favor and get a flash drive and dl roboform togo

Anyone using the firefox google browser sync?

Awesome lil tool... all my comps... all my bookmarks... always safe...

Same here! :( Happened to me before...

but at least I've just had a backup of some i bookmarked...

That blows. :(

Well... if nothing else, let this one serve as a reminder to back-up user files on a USB drive or whatever from time to time.
