Hi,
I've had some bad days, and i'm not a programmer, but any way you cut it
nuking 80%+ of your code is a major downer. I've lost data in hard disk
crashes, but that was hardware, i think this in a way would be worse. If
you've got cash i'd recommend a USB thumb drive for all your computers,
they're relatively cheap these days and going down fast in price. They're
also reliable as heck, i accidentally put one through a wash and a dry and i
am happy to say that after i got over almost having a heart attack it was
the cleanest but still totally operable USB thumb drive. If and maybe a
supplement to a USB thumb drive, would be a version control system for
source code, subversion, and i think if your using the ms .net suite of
compilation tools they have a plugin for svn, that way you could branch off
a development branch from your main branch.
You have my sympathies.
Dave.
