This happened to me last year. I lost all of my stories that weren't penned in class, and also two years worth of /sp/ memes.

You just have to start again man.

Who knows, you might get lucky and have the botnet become obsessed with your work when it becomes self aware.

Unless you're over 50 years old, you haven't had that much time wasted.

>the cloud
>extra HDD kept off-site, in self storage or a deposit box
>printed copies kept off-site
>USB drive on a chain around your neck

Plenty of options to avoid exactly this, OP.

This was easily preventable. You were pretty careless with your "life's work" op.

>mfw my entire life's work was destroyed in a fire
Last time I use oral tradition. Stick to scrolls, friends.

You deserve it for being so stupid. Always have a second back up.

He bought a new PC? Are you stupid?

But the work is in you. Making it external at all is irrelevant to its immanence.

>First 2 books destroyed when hdd sparked and died.
>rewrote them, power lines hit by lightning, lost them again
>another hdd failure wipes them out a third time in 2005

Now, I have 8 backups between three cloud services, 4 devices, and a friend's email. I also have two hard copies. Never again. I feel your pain.

Just watch the 2000 movies Wonder Boys.
