Okay, I think I am missing a really important feature in Hog 3.1.6. after upgrade on my iPC. I went into setup>shows, and all I have is Backup….Where is the auto save / auto backup feature? Is it somewhere else?
[QUOTE=Marty Postma;48355]I understand your frustration here....it would really suck to lose that much work all at once to be sure.
But, as a Programmer it is part of your gig to protect your show file. Never rely on any console to do it for you. The first question a Designer is going to ask you in the event of a problem is "When did you last back-up the show?"
This is why it is a good policy to backup regularly no matter what console you are using. Personally I shoot for every 30 minutes and do backups to at least 2 pieces of external media in addition to the console's HDD.
This way if something drastic happens to your console (including catastrophic physical damage) you still have a copy from at the most 30 minutes ago.
Hope this helps. :)
Yeah, generally, when it's my show (and my problem), I do. More often than that.
But considering it looks like now it's a hardware issue and all I was updating was palettes, all that means is that I would've lost 30 minutes of data over and over again.
Not sure how this is supposed to HELP but to try and make me feel like an idiot.
