Ah poor Bruno, this weeks lame duck.
Asking a programming question in the Lounge where it clearly states not to.
Doesn't know enough netiquette not the SHOUT.

Using Access as the database
Man you have my sincere sympathies.
The only thing to make that worse would be to be using Crystal Reports as well.

I am using a SSD to hold code and (until Sunday) databases that were attached to the sql instance on my desktop and my laptop. Everything was fine until Sunday night, when I think I did some steps in the wrong order on my desktop regarding detaching/attaching databases. In the process of doing something wrong, I lost all of the database work I had done over the weekend. Half a dozen tables and almost a dozen stored procs - gone - and could not be recovered.
Today, I finished reinventing all the database crap I lost, and implemented a new policy. I create two jobs - one that backs up all the databases (that are not system databases) to the SSD, and one that restores the backed up databases from the SSD. Now all I have to do is remember to run them (and not run the wrong one when I run one).
BTW, my template project is going quite well, and I'm almost ready to make the demo video (hopefully by sometime next week.

Won't do the job. You have to use ssms or sql server to backup/restore databases. I'll only be using this as a synchronization vehicle.

Losing work always sucks,  but I usually find that the second effort is better than the original. The bonus is the lesson you learned and steps taken to keep it from reoccurring. Sometimes it pays dividends to idiot-proof your own stuff!

I agree - it sucks, but the second is one is usually better than the first.
Accept that one time that I lost a new algorithm and could not recreate the thought process that allowed me to create it in the first place. It was beautiful, it was inspired, efficient and now gone forever.

Well I’m having issues with my reinvention. I feel like I have to say one more time that I hate EF6...
EDIT ===============
It's Friday morning - the afore mentioned issues have been resolved. I am now back to a functioning website and database, and I can finally say that I'm back to where I was on Sunday before I screwed up.
Final observations - EF6 sucks. In point of fact, I'm gonna go out on a limb and claim that ALL ORMs suck.

Can't be a scheduled task. It can't even be a startup task due to the nature of "the way things are" regarding the SSD. I'm sure reading my explanation would take a lot more time than you are willing to invest in reading it.

Over the last two months Google has forced me to change my password for an account I have had from the days when you needed to be invited to have an e-mail account.
They inform me about this via an e-mail which I can not reach because I can not log in
I have all the Google we want to know settings turned off.
I also clear browsing data 10 or so times a day.
The first reason they invoked this algorithm I deleted 10 unread e-mails
I have noticed when I open Google maps my location is 20 to 50 miles off which is OK with me. My ISP is Frontier and I use Cloudflare 1.1.1.1
Short of changing all my contacts to my Proton Mail account and giving Google more information like my phone number or an alternative e-mail address
Do I have a way to stop this hair brained Google behavior?
YES I know the Google account has been pawned

Seriously?
Well, if you clear your cookies, then you clear your stored passwords and settings, so the fact that your passwords and settings aren't stored shouldn't be too much of a surprise.
Be a bit more discriminative, when cleaning out cookies.

Look, if you want to use google "services", you have to bow the knee to their absolute right to sh1t all over your personal information agree to let them retain certain information.
If you don't allow this, they will nag the cr@p out of you. That's a fact of life that is only being contested by the EU, so you're either living in the wrong place, or you've got the wrong dream.

Mark you are so correct
The real killer is they also pulled all my app from the play store that were FREE
because of this and are demanding I resubmit the apps
I guess the reality of the new norm of Google rules is more than my tolerance level
is willing to endure Good thing I do not have a bread knife
Thanks for honest advice

I am a software developer. used to make Android apps for a couple of years for fun. Had moderate success with a couple of apps and no success with the majority but I can't say all my apps were of the same quality. I did that for a couple of years and money started drying up. I sold my last monetized app and ever since then I haven't been able to make more apps.
for the last 3 years I've started many projects that I didn't complete and when ever i push my self to finish something i get physically sick. My heart starts pumping hard, I get chest pain, pressure around my head. I always put that down to over working since I have a tendency to keep pushing once I start, past silly hours.
I havn't worked on anything for myself for the last 6 months, but now that I am starting again, I cannot sit and work on the project for more than 10 minutes without getting those symptoms again. I feel like I am going to have a heart attack.
Has anyone experienced or info about this condition?
FYI. I can work on my jobs project just fine just not my own.
Any help appreciated. Thanks

Sounds like you are having a panic attack.
Panic Attack Symptoms | Anxiety and Depression Association of America, ADAA[^]
Quote: A panic attack is the abrupt onset of intense fear or discomfort that reaches a peak within minutes and includes at least four of the following symptoms:
Palpitations, pounding heart, or accelerated heart rate
Sweating
Trembling or shaking
Sensations of shortness of breath or smothering
Feelings of choking
Chest pain or discomfort
Nausea or abdominal distress
Feeling dizzy, unsteady, light-headed, or faint
Chills or heat sensations
Paresthesia (numbness or tingling sensations)
Derealization (feelings of unreality) or depersonalization (being detached from oneself)
Fear of losing control or “going crazy”
Fear of dying

To be entirely honest I have no real knowledge on such topic. And it sounds really strange too.
From the sound of it, to make an uneducated guess, it could be anxiety attack. Does your home projects makes you anxious?
I know some of them, which have dragged for way too long, do make me anxious...

I often experience the opposite. I've learned to "talk myself down" from the stress, expectations, and fears, particularly with regards to the realization that those symptoms are often due of sh*tty management and taking on responsibilities that I'm not being paid for nor agreed to.*
Perhaps you're setting yourself up to be your own worst enemy, with much higher expectations of your personal work. As silly as it sounds, maybe telling your inner boss to take a hike so you can simply just enjoy doing "your own job" would start to help.
* - in the job I recently left, the assistant VP and my direct manager sat down and, after being there for a year and half, finally gave me a point by point job description, including "taking over the projects that your manager is currently handling." I thanked that ArseVP for finally providing me with a job description, then pointed out that that was the first time I'd heard that, and I don't agree with it. Happily I found another job (and 4 months so far, loving it) soon after. ![Jig | [Dance]](https://codeproject.freetls.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/jig.gif)

Maybe too simple an explanation, but aren't you too demanding for yourself?
Your symptoms sound like burn out, but I'm not a doctor and there could be a physical cause for it as well.
So to be sure a medical examination would be a good idea I think
