Unfortunately, today when I turned on my computer, I discovered that the external hard drive had failed.
I lost 5 TB of data containing over 1,500 authors that I had collected over all these years.
The plan for the immediate period was to start posting new authors (more than 2,000 of them) and to list updates for those already existing on the forum at this moment.
That plan will be put on standby for now. I’m trying to save some money to purchase a new 22 TB WesternDigital external hard drive, while also trying to recover the authors I lost.
In the end, I will solve it one way or another, but please be patient.
Thank you, guys, and happy holidays to you!

Ugh. So sorry.
I try to save all my stuff in two separate locations to avoid just this. But then my collection is rather smaller than yours.
Take your time and try not to stress yourself.
You have created quite the place here, and all that work certainly is appreciated.

Is there anything we can do to help. We are grateful for all you do. Is there somewhere we can upload any of our authors?

I lost 2 x 5TB full external drives last year - I cried with the first, shrugged with the 2nd.
This was the website where I replaced so much of what I had lost, which I can never thank enough.
Both were Western Digital drives.
If I can help in ANY way whatever, please just advise and I will help as best I can.
I have been known to have an HD posted to me, whereupon I filled it and returned it, in the past.
What I would say, is that upon losing the 2nd drive, I read a LOT about external drives.
The general consensus was that anything over 4TB wasn't reliable, and had a tendency to fail eventually.
I replaced my cold, dead drives with 4TB Western Digitals and a 4 port USB hub.
Mainly because my heart would break if I lost anything any bigger - the thought of losing 22TB is beyond my thinking. 😭😭😭

Think about getting a Raid. There are several low cost four and five disk enclosures out there that come with software. If you set it up as a raid 5 then when a disk fails you insert another of the same and the raid will rebuild itself.
I am a retired systems engineer. If you are in the US, I can send links if you would like to see costs. Losing a shit-ton of data is not fun.

It's an excellent system, we use it.
If I can help rebuild let me know, I'll do what I can. I still have much of what I've had from here, it would just be returning the favour.

When you are ready to recover them. Make a post. Something like Admin Books/Authors needing recovered. I'd return them to you from my collection. It'd be a way I'd be happy to give back (and able, too many months paycheck to paycheck prevents a more useful way).
But it'd be righteous to give back to you sir. Just tell us what you need.
