better than losing 50 years .... it isn't a whole lot of fun, trying to reproduce the trades and move up, but still better than starting over .... and not really demoralizing .... it's a quick thing to back up, and i do it after EVERY session now .... and make a zip file every month of game play ... if i don't need the backups (only have used it a handful of times), i delete the oldest when i make a new zip ... keeping usually a year or so. (the ingame backup just writes over the last one so i don't need to change that one). Better to be prepared than lose the 50 years i did once.
