What to do?

NyiriHawkwing

I've had a catastrophic computer failure and have lost all of my downloaded products. Some stuff I don't know how I will replace, as I had purchased it through the old RuntimeDNA site or it is stuff that is no longer available anywhere, such as AS's (in whatever incarnation) old creations that I purchased before they were taken off the market. Any ideas on how I can get those again? I might actually have a decently current list of what I had in spreadsheet form, but we're talking about some 5000+ items I had accumulated over the years... I know some of my data I just won't be able to replace, but... /sigh

What to do? 

you should learn how important it is to back up your data...

Wow, thanks for the sarcasm. I always loved that this community was so helpful, but that certainly isn't. Ever think it was circumstances beyond my control? I'm thankful that the entirety of my data is the least of what I lost and grateful that my family is unharmed.

For your information, I did have my data backed up. But that was lost as well. I certainly didn't want to share the details of my misfortune, I wish no one's pity. I was looking for actual constructive suggestions.

The only legal way to get those files back would be to try contacting the creators themselves to see if they would be willing to send them to you.

Thank you. I'm in the process of trying to do that. Didn't know if there was some other place where the old RDNA stuff was archived or not.

The downloads did remain available for some time, but I think they were finally taken down a few months back.
