Yeah, the EXE/APP. Once the SCT is corrupted, you're dead in the water.

Every day. As a matter of fact, while all of my development is on my local drives, I use a VBScript file (what else?:-)) to copy the development tree out to the network drive. From there, they are (supposedly) backed up. I say supposedly because not once, but twice, we had servers crash. Both times I had been repeatedly told that there were back ups being made. When it turned out that this wasn't the case, I had to resort to Refox to retrieve my work. After the second crash, I took matters into my own hands.
