CloseI dont know if this is in the right forums or not but,I am being set back on my current adventure in making a game because my external hard drive has pooped out,hence deleting my hours of hard work on what i had so far on my game....Im in the works of getting stuff back so any materials I can use to have to re do a few days worth of work would be appreciated. Thank you and look forward on me announcing my game some time in the future!
With gaming love,

The forum isn't for people posting about their games. Feel free to make this as a blog for your game once you make a game profile for it and it is accepted but until then please refrain from these kinds of posts.
Sorry about your loss though. One handy way of avoiding losing data due to hardware failure is to sign up for an online storage service such as Dropbox which gives two gigs of storage free. Once a week or when you made decent progress copy your game files and related information and resources to your dropbox folder and it will sync up with your account and should you lost your computer you just need to access your account to retrieve all that information.
Of course you need to remember to do it and if you have bandwidth restrictions it isn't as effective.

What GRS said, except you could do a local backup to a USB hard drive, flash drive or SD card if you computer has a reader slot.

Man i have heard this so many times with people who make rpgmaker games that their drive had an error and it wiped their data.

It's a very frequent occurrence, which is a shame.
I started off getting a Dropbox account right off the bat before making my first several legitimate RPG Maker games so I wouldn't have to run into this issue. It also helps that I have a second harddrive.
