Panic. I lost my data

Yes, it's happened. And at first I thought I had lost about 8 hours work.

I am running TAMB on a USB drive in the office, and the main TAMB program crashed and corrupted the user.xml file.

Luckily It did not affect the template, css or images, and I was able to re-create the user.xml file from another one (amending all necessary details) - with a bit of foot stamping and head scratching. Of course I also had to re-create all of my custom tags as well.

Just goes to show. BACK UP ALL FILES REGULARLY.
