Where do you usually backup your plane data?

Toshiba Canvio External HDD. 500 GB is enough. And my 8 GB flashdisk. AND also on other drives. I don't want that traumatic experience to happen ever again in my life.

    @TheLatentImage I know, but what will happen if I exit the game afterwards? Also I lost all of my aircraft once when I was upgrading to windows 8 a few months ago. Fortunately I haven't made a lot a lot of planes since that time.

    @AgDynamics that's what that almighty undo button is good for. Just undo until you get to a non messed up plane, save that. Go back into the xml.

    @AgDynamics lol yeah since you're an XML wizard XD. I don't usually mod except for making more powerful engines.

    Pfft, backups. I usually just edit XML by the seat of my pants and hope I don't forget to close a paren or something. If I break a plane while editing, I hunt down the error and fix it.

    @XVIdarkLithium I usually copy the whole folder called "Simpleplanes" into my HDD or flashdisk.

    @XVIdarkLithium I'm not online all the time so I rarely upload as unlisted

    @NovaTopaz That works until you forget where you copied them

    @XVIdarkLithium That, and directly copying the XML files as a backup.

    Uploading them as unlisted works
