Make a COPY!

Blitz licenses are per installation, so if you need to re0-install you'll have to purchase another copy. (I've bought 17 copies already!)

Riiight. :-)

Indeed, after Installation you should make a backup copy of the installed blitz folder, usually inside "Program Files"

Better: simply make a backup of the installation program.


jfk EO-11110(Posted 2004) [#13]
isn't that kinda hidden somewhere in the internet cache?

What would be the best way to back it up? I assumed just knowing my blitz username/password would be enough :-0 What's the setup proggie called? I'm not sure where I put it.... I actually have a blitz box to. Back in the day when you got a box from here :) although it was $150.

[edit]hehheheh. Found the CD. Now putting cd in fireproof safe....

I copied the installed version to CD multiple times and have it spread across my room in several places. Also, I keep a CD with all the code and media I wrote and made in all languages I use.. including most of the programs I did it with (like B3D), with me AT ALL TIMES when I leave my house, just in case summin here catches fire or summin other.

One can never be too carefull with this stuff I say.

Why not buy the CD version?

Am I the only one who takes weekly backups of my entire harddrive(s)?

Weekly backups is a bit much for me, I just burn off stuff that I think is important to a DVD every few weeks.

I am also in a house connected to a network, so we stor all important files on the other PC`s in the house too, in case one machine goes down, the person can get their good stuff back via the network :)
