OH NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

[Roboliver]

I'm trying to catch up & complete MOC & my computer has been acting up a bit. Somehow, some way, I just completely deleted ALL of my tags in ACDsee & now I can't look up all my alphas, or all my doodles, or all my papers. I'm so upset!!!!

 

[HeatherB]

Oh no! That is terrible! Did you have backup that you can go to? I can't imagine how much work it will be to re-tag everything.

 

[lorryfach]

Oh no! Fingers crossed you can get it back the way it was!!!

 

[VickyD]

Have you got a recent "restore" point that you can run?

 

[KarenC]

Oh, I'm so sorry!!! Hope you can get it all back!

 

[bcnatty]

Oh no Shannon!! I hope that you can pull up a recently restore!!

 

[ashleywb]

Oh no! so sorry!

 

[Karen]

Oh geez! That would be awful! I hope you can figure out how to get that restored again. In the meantime, from someone who is too lazy to tag stuff. I just search for alphas and stuff using the store's search. I make sure I'm logged in too so that when I'm scanning through a category, I can see what I already own too. I hope that helps to at least get you through MOC!

 

[mollyscraps]

Oh Shannon! I am so sorry to hear this! Can you push ahead without the tags for now?

 

[Lindzee]

Oh no! Stay calm, think it through and take one step at a time. Undo, undo.

 

[tropt]

Oh, SO very sorry! Sending positive thoughts your way. You CAN finish even in spite of this setback. Just keep reminding yourself of how much you've accomplished so far and now just a little more and you're done!

 

[staciahall]

ACDSee can be a nailbiter if there are hard drive issues or just if it wants to be. I hope you found a way to at least link to an older catalog backup. Retagging a few is better than all...

 

[mimisgirl]

ACK- SHANNON!

 

[PLM]

Gosh, my heart had stopped with beating for a second.
What a NIGHTMARE! I hope there is a way you can recover it somehow.

 

[dvhoward]

If ACDSee failed like that for me I'd just freak out! I hope your tags were all embedded and saved somewhere. I have had my hard drive fail (twice) and the tags all came back when I did the restore from my EHD (first time) and Backblaze (the second time). Good luck!

 

[Roboliver]

Thanks for all of your kind words!!!! I did finish MOC easily without ACDsee but most definitely lost all my tags. I didn't realize there was a back up database area & never did that so all of my tags weren't backed up. DUH!!! If, and that's a BIG IF, I choose to retag anything I'll definitely back up this time around.

 

[staciahall]

If you do, you can choose to have it remind you to backup your database. The one time I lost mine I had done a backup just a few days before so didn't lose much. But I remember not wanting to take the time to say yes to the backup. Now when it reminds me I ALWAYS say yes! I took that as a sign.
