Did you edit your thesis for six months without saving?
I know people that used to rely on the document recovery in Word to save their documents. Every day they'd recover the document they wanted to work on.
Holy mother. That's like jumping in front of a train every evening and relying on the groundhog day to wake you up in your bed again in the morning.
Yeah it terrified me once I found out. Some people think of the strangest workflows. (relevant xkcd: https://xkcd.com/1172/)
Lol I somehow knew it was gonna be that one
😮
lol yea this makes no sense
The story: It was a composition, score + electroacoustic piece. (music master’s). At some point, I made a backup save on an external drive and forgot to change back the save location to my internal drive. One day I was using the vacuum cleaner, the hard disk power cable got caught in the vacuum cleaner and fell out. The external drive was broken, and I realized I had been making all of my saves on it. I’ve lost months of work, had to start over the piece, and I wasn’t able to submit my piece and thesis until the following semester. Now I teach computer music and I always tell that story to my students lol.
My thesis was versioned using SVN on my server and I had a remote backup at my parents. And stored on both my laptop and desktop.
You rebel you
Because of SVN? Git was 4 years old when I did my thesis so I hadn't really heard about it.
I had online backup of the written part. It was 12+ years ago so even that wasn't that common. But the main project was a composition, score + electroacoustic piece. (music master’s). At some point, I made a backup save on an external drive and forgot to change back the save location to my internal drive. One day I was using the vacuum cleaner, the hard disk power cable got caught in the vacuum cleaner and fell out. The external drive was broken, and I realized I had been making all of my saves on it. I’ve lost months of work, had to start over the piece, and I wasn’t able to submit my piece and thesis until the following semester. Now I teach computer music and I always tell that story to my students lol.

Seems like a nice feature then would be to have a person review the save file path once every week or so.
