Hello First post here. Recently my computer crashed and with that I lost a few videos I downloaded. I have been able to buy some back but I am missing one of my favorite ones. It is of Honeysuckle Sachrine being humiliated by Mistress Freya. The store is closed and was wondering if there was any chance of finding it anywhere. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Ron
I can't help you with that video, but perhaps with some advice.
Over the years, I too have lost a lot of material I had purchased, and often the producer is no longer in business. I have had hard drives crash more times than I'd like to remember.
So one time when I had money to spare, I bought a pair of 5 terrabyte external hard drives. One is at my main computer, and the other stays with the upstairs television. Every few months, after I've downloaded more videos, I'll bring them both down to my main computer and copy files into each of them and delete them from my computer. The content of each drive is identical, so when one of them dies, I simply replace it and copy everything from the surviving drive. So far it's worked out very well and I still have lots of storage for future downloads.
I highly recommend a duplicate copy, either one in your computer and one on an external drive, or like me, copying to a pair of external drives for when one of them dies. (and all drives eventually die)

That's sound advice, but I'd say the most basic protection, which absolutely everyone should have, is:
Backs up your entire computer, for seven dollars a month. For a little extra you can have a full year's worth of changes stored so if you get hit by a ransomeware attack you just go back to before it happened.
If you have any paid-for download content, it's complete insanity not to have an on-line backup subscription. And Backblaze is incredibly simple, no messing about selecting folders and the finding you missed the most important one, rather it backs up your entire PC including any permanently attached external hard drives.
Do not delay, sign up today.
(and no, not in any way related to them other than as a very satisfied customer, but the number of times people report having lost irriplaceable content when something so simple could prevent it - arrrghhhhh!)
Seriously, do it right now, and never worry about losing paid-for stuff that can't be replaced ever again.
Love you, too
