Killer7 is being investigated by the GERMAN law enforcement not the U.S. as he lives ,works, and plays in that country.

- Start date
I know. I was just commenting on US law and legal practice. Killer's situation was discussed here so many times already that I don't think I could bring anything new to that discussion.Killer7 is being investigated by the GERMAN law enforcement not the U.S. as he lives ,works, and plays in that country.
That is so true, But things are getting better for Killer as we speak. It's just a matter of time before they come to the conclusion that everything legitimate and on the up & up if you know what I mean.
Why is this still a thing in modern day? Dont people in the pro field back up there important work data online? This idea that confiscation of my hdd = loss of work seems too old school and unserious to me.

Maybe it's because you're a kid(Under 50 is a kid to me. No disrespect intended) and a lot of us are old. Hell, I lost 2 years of writing/coding of a game I was developing(Just needed a Daz artist) when my RAID10 died. Even though a few others told me to get online storage, I thought the RAID10 was the best option, so I didn't do what they advised.

I was planning on keeping backups online, but it's almost 1TB Of data. I was postponing it over and over again because I thought "If something happens, I still have 3 harddrives that have the exact same data". I had no idea shit like that would happen, though. I mean, I learned my lesson now and will always keep a full backup online somewhere, but back then the thought that I get framed never ocurred to me. At least not with shit like that.

Or, just have a backup at another location, like a friend's house or family and just swap it out to update it a few times a year. Much cheaper than cloud which has it's own set of issues.
I mean, that's already a given anyway. I was more saying that I will rely on physical AND online backups. I'm going to give sync.com a try, for example.
We live & learn from our past mistakes Killer7, All we can do is to persevere and continue moving forward. I still have a lot to learn myself.

I'd just like to point out, that backing up to "the cloud" isn't fool proof, especially given the nature of the work getting uploaded. I've heard lots of stories of erotic novelists, and fan fiction writers, getting locked out of their Google Drive accounts for having "inappropriate" content on there. Which has lost them access to tons of uploaded work.
This is a sexually explicit visual novel, uploading anything relating to it's development could easily run into trouble with ever shifting rules of what content is allowed or not on any given cloud hosting service

Easiest way around that is to put the content in an encrypted archive.
Doesn't even have to have compression, as long as the archive is encrypted they can't see the contents so there's no issue.

Here's an easy solution to anyone's backup/storage challenges:

I use it on my media server, and have multiple folder mirrors on data I value highly. Doesn't require RAID, and works with offline (scheduled) parity tools like SnapRAID. Even works with drives of mismatched sizes. Quality stuff I recommend to anyone.
