go RAID or go home

Compared to cloud storage, and the fact you can lose usb memory sticks, it's better to just stick with the cloud.
Don't store valuable information in a cloud service, it's more likely to get hacked / crash than your hdd or usb

I don't trust cloud things. I use my external HD.

This is why you have more than one source of backup



usbs are prone to fail and format quite easily
pretty much this

i had one, but one of my older brothers accidentally broke it (physically) :(
i would've been permanently locked out of every site (except for a few exceptions) i created an account on (including this one) as well, but at least i backed up my passwords a while before c:

i guess that's what happens when you trust a usb flash drive too much :(
i am never going to try that ever again.

OT: I feel sorry for you Filipe :(

Actually, come to think of it my external HD has actually messed up before, I lost a few of my Blockland saves on it when I had to replace the part.

I had to completely reinstall my bios but I still had 90% of my stuff
dropbox ftw

This happened to me as well. I told him to be careful, guess he didn't listen.

"OGM NU FIELAIPLE NU NIU VIDEAOS? :panda: :panda: :panda: :panda: :panda: :panda: :panda: :panda:"

I feel the pain
it hurts

Good news, I went to a computer store today and they said that it's probably possible to backup my files, I will bring my computer for them tommorow and then hope to get atleast my stuff back on an external HD

and buy 2 more hard drives and do a raid configuration

Hope the Backup Process will work out for you Filipe. Crossing Fingers that all works out well.

I believe I need a brand new computer as well, I already lost some important components on my current one because it overheats easily due to it's size, the lack of a good air cycling and maybe it wasn't intended to handle stuff like my graphics card for example, but on the other hand, I can get a newer and faster computer and upload my backup files on it and everything will be better than before, i already have a 500gb external HD to do this job and I just need to save the most important parts like models, musics and sounds, add-ons, video stuff and my Blockland folder
