Hi guys!
I have a loose special case scenario… I have the build folder of my game but not the original project folder (it was on a hard drive that got corrupted)
I’m wondering if there’s any way to recover any part of my project through unity. I included a screen cap of the contents in the folder… i’m assuming the answer is no, and that i’ll have to build it again from scratch, but any pointers at all would be great, even if it’s just recovering scripts or anything like that.
Hi @melissachodz ,
Unfortunately it is not possible. However, you can use a non-local repository on your next project in order to avoid this from happening again.
Apart from having a backup, there are a lot more features that can improve your workflow.
For example, you can easily not only recover your project from another machine, but you can also retrieve any previous state of it.
Another advantage is that you can continue working on your project from different machines, and it’s very easy to combine your progress with the progress of somebody else if you work with other developers.
These are just some of the good things that you will have with this specific strategy.
My recommendation is to use GIT if you decide to use such a repository. There are multiple options both free and paid (also public and private) that you can use for that purpose.
Good luck with that!
