CNCComputer Crashed?? Mach 3 Files I Should Have Backed Up

[@larrydugger6878]

Thanks for this video. I just went through a crash, however I had most of the backup, but now I will follow this video and have exactly what I need. Thank you.

Great video tonight Dave! Thanks for reviewing the basics that are so easy to overlook. Especially after you get things running (excitement takes over) and we start plowing into creating... then Murphy shows up... and as always, RUclips will have the video pop up in your feed right after your computer crashes... like it's laughing at you... lol.
Thanks again for another great video.

Thanks for watching Paul. It's easy to forget and a real pain when you don't have things backed up so I this video will help someone.

Thanks for this informative video. I have lived through a crash and know what it's like not to have something backed up. I did see a couple things that I will be adding to my backup file. Thanks again.

Thanks for watching Dennis. Much appreciated.

Great video Dave! I have 2 machines that run off of Mach3 and I back the files up not only on each machine but I also put the back up to the other machine. And I back them up on my main desktop in the house and on a backup drive. It takes a lot of work to tweak a machine so well worth what it takes.
Great reminder for all,
Thanks for the video,
Gary

Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment Gary. Yes, since I have several different CNCs I have backups of backups. 😄

Thanks for reminding me to backup my Mach 3 files. I thought I did it a while back, but I need to organize them a little better. - Also, you look younger and healthier than I've seen you in years.

Thank you for watching Roger. I'd like to tell you that I'm eating right and working out at the gym but my "younger and healthier" look is from a heart attack and quadruple bypass surgery that I had back in April. It's not a weight loss program that I can recommend. 😃

great information , thanks . The problem I am having with my Mach3 is the window size , it defaults opens to a screen about 5x7 inches or I can go full screen . I can't figure out where to go to make it a size in between as a default , the 5X7 is too small and the full screen I have to keep dropping it to get to files or other info on my desktop .

Thanks for watching Craig. If you click on Config, then General Config, check to see if you have the Auto Enlarge Screen box checked. Sometimes mine will not enlarge the screen and I have to go there and uncheck that box then check it again and restart Mach 3. It might be a Windows 10 thing. 😀
