There are ways to solve the ContentDB problem where you don't have to reinstall everything every time you lose Windows. DAZ, you know I would pay a small monthly fee (3-6/mo) to cloud backup my ContentDB settings and have this stuff just seamlessly work from one machine to another, across Windows installs, and work more like a professional content delivery system than it is this stuck in the mid-00's local DB thing that is really functional - but fragile.

We are in a new world. Fault tolerance and failure recovery are SELLING POINTS. Otherwise, creators will drop off from your solutions. Another coin went on Blender yesterday as my end-to-end solution. I no longer see it as an alternative, but as the path forward. Because it does take a lot of willpower and stupid determination to stay in the market as a "DAZ Professional" - the amount of effort it takes to keep producing this art only gets higher and higher the more we have - which is a position as a solution provider you do not want to be in, since you are forcing your best customers out after the 5th or 6th reinstall.

More solo art. I have to. It is the only way I can get a good base of content, poses, expressions, and characters installed for this machine to be able to do series delivery reliably and on a schedule.
