My computer crashed about 2 1/2 years ago during the middle of a large topo project. I bought a new one, ghosted the old computer on to the new one, and kept going without a hitch...or so I thought.
I get a call today needing a plat revision on a small lot survey I did about 2 1/2 years ago. Rush job. I get the file out of the filing cabinet, look up the job number & try to bring it up on my computer but it's not there. The .dwg file, .crd file, ...everything is gone. My job files are in numerical order and it's the only one missing. It's the last one I did before starting the topo. I didn't loose the topo that I was in the middle of drawing (thank goodness). Just the one before it.
I did still have the job in the data collector, and a copy of the plat in the file folder, so I'm about through redrawing it here around midnight so I can get it out in the morning.
Oh well, such is life.
It only happens to the one that you need. 😉
C'est La Vie...
...as they say. I guess that is why you get paid "the big bucks". 😉
We just have to buckle down and earn it from time to time.
Glad no repeat field trips were required, nice save!
Dang man, sounds like you luck is about a bad as mine sometimes.
I have found out that sometimes you have to take the good with the bad, and it makes you appreciate the easy jobs that much more.
I have more than my share of the drawing sessions at midnight being a solo operator. It's tough being in the field all day, office in the evenings trying to take care of all the other stuff.
Tough sometimes, yes...
...but worth it, right?
I may be misunderstanding you but...
You had the job in your data collector for 2-1/2 years?

Yeah me too:
