A useful program to backup your work
Usually i dedicate a directory to temporary work files and one to the finished works. Thus, once a job finished, i transfer the results to the “finished” directory and delete the “temporary” directory. The other night, because of weariness, I made a fatal mistake! My fingers moved mechanically when I realized that I was deleting the “finished” directory (18 GB of my blood!). I was still and silent for several minutes looking at the monitor.
Fortunately there are some OS programs that have helped me at that time.
I used NTFS undelete, an open source tool that lets you recover accidentally deleted files, but this is an operation that often does not give the expected results.
Therefore It is crucial to make a backup!
however, for not having problems then you should make a backup at least every hour.
Cobian is right for us.
Cobian is an open source program that can be used to schedule and backup, at desidered interval of time, your files and directories from their original location to other directories/drives in the same computer or other computer in your network. FTP backup is also supported in both directions (download and upload).
ten minutes to download and set it and we can sleep soundly.

I sympathize with you. I’ve had professional loses myself. Tip: watch out for Shift + Delete in Windows. It’s the permanent delete.
