Soooo....my laptop died and my jerk of a bf made me restore it without saving all of my petz. All the ones I've worked so hard to breed, and that others have worked equally as hard on, are dead. My poor Sal and suitcase and the rest! =( so that's where I've been. That and the hlolidays were nuts as I'm sure were just as hectic for all of you

:[ Ah, Amy! Sorry to hear that. You didn't have any petz sent to you via email? They usually are backed up somewhere, even when thrown in the trash. Perhaps typing .pet in your search bar on the email account?

It's a real shame when this happens, but I will tell you what I tell everyone else: back up your petz! I make 6-monthly backups of my petz by saving the whole game onto a USB pen and I also email them to myself to make sure I have two copies. It takes a while but it really does save heartbreaks.

Do what Loxie said, or you can just sort your e-mails that you've received petz from in a separate folder, like I do, so I know where to find them if my computer dies.

I'm really sorry. I've lost so many petz over the years from similar problems (mostly before I knew about backing up petz, and before I had access to the internet, and before I had any sorts of USBs or even had a computer WITH a USB port, or anything). I feel your pain. ={ I remember I had finally gotten access to some floppy disks, but you could only put like 5 petz on each floppy, depending on the file size of the pet (didn't have PetzA back then for tree trimming), so I had like a hundred floppy disks laying around, and then I learned that computers don't usually even have floppy drives anymore, so I couldn't get the petz off. No clue what happened to the old floppies now, I think my father threw them out. I hope you can find some of your petz in emails at least that you got from others. Best of luck!
