Re: Well THIS sucks.
Actually,something like that also happened to me. I was almost finished with tropix 2 and I had to start all over! Plus a whole bunch of things like pictures, scratch projects, and more were also lost. Luckily, we got some of the pictures back but not all and that was only thing I got back...
Oh, exept for my endless free trial of tropix 2. Im still trying to get back to the place I was.

Re: Well THIS sucks.
I would recommend using a virtual OS and saving everything online. With a virtual OS you don't need to shutdown ever. You can save the system processes. And turn off the host. Just make sure to double your RAM and increase your processor capacity because you are running two OS's. With your host OS you can get a program to make copies of the Virtual OS. So even if you do save stuff to the Virtual you can just go back to the previous day if something goes wrong. What happens in a virtual box stays in a virtual box. The host is relativley uneffected if something goes wrong. (When I say relativley I mean the host is only affected up to the limit that you set)

Eh, one of my comp's has a 1 terabyte hard drive and 4 gigs of RAM. Imagine if I lost all of that.

Two Words. Virtual Box.
Just use Virtual Box to do everything you do, and at the end of everyday make a copy of the entire operating system.
