Good news and bad news.
Good news is i built a new computer. Bad news i had all hard drives hooked up and was having trouble with getting the os on my ssd and managed to erase my backup. So i lost the league. I cant complain because it was my fault. I got lazy and should have checked and made sure i had backed it up to the cloud or a disconnected drive. Though i do wish windows would just use something simple like Sata1 drive or Sata 2 drive instead of primary, reserved, extended blah blah blah. Too much storage to clutter the mind.
I do have a backup of my transaction spreadsheet. A league i can redo but getting the transactions to match up took a long time and im glad i had a backup of that and my manager and owner list.
Its ok cause i was wanting to start again in 18. I want to start from scratch because running a 19th century league in 18 is a little different from 17.
For one i will have to do my own expansion and probably have to draft the players as well.
I think i will try to write down the steps i take in case it helps anyone else.
