Today I am upgrading to Windows 8 RP and this is to let you know what is going to happen to prevent me cancelling a project due to massive loss of work (or all of it). so heres my 2 step plan to prevent that:
1) Archive: I am going to archive the work (EG- models, materials and maps) into a RAR file to keep disk space small enough for more than 1 project to be backed up.
2) Backup: I am going to make a seperate folder on my USB stick and keep all of my work there and keep updating the RAR files to keep upto date files!
PS: I have made a Custom Resolution for my 18" display: 1920x1080 for getting snap grid enabled and other important stuff!
