I just wanted to give you guys some advice. One of my harddrives just got wiped, and I lost my map in the process. I strongly recommend that you create a backup, if not multiple, of a map that you've put a lot and thought and effort into. I just lost hours and hours of work on a map that I actually wanted to get somewhere with, and it's all time wasted for nothing now. Please, PLEASE make backups, guys. It might seem pretty straight-forward for some, but as I didn't do it, I'm guessing that there's someone else out there who hasn't either.
Yeah, I understand, it's an awful feeling, to lose a thing you've been working on more then a few days or even hours. I once lost a music I was creating ;/ And since that loss I do make backups.
Ever since I lost some stuff back in the beta, I make daily backups locally & to dropbox. If you don't know what dropbox is, check it out. It's great even if you don't want it for maps. But that way, you have on online backup safe from hard drive fails, and you have a local backup in case you mess something up or your internet goes out.
Sorry to hear about the map though :(

Feel free to Send me a PM if you have any questions/concerns!
Yea, I know about dropbox and I've been using it regularly, but only for text documents and the likes. Didn't ever think about backing up my map, I have no idea why.
