I play minecraft on my own computer and my boyfriends. I use his for modded survival. I haven't played on his computer since August. He rarely uses that computer so he didn't have a chance to notice a problem until last week. He texted me to ask if I had deleted everything off his computer. He said tonight that all of his things were gone (files, pictures, everything). All of my things were still there (everything minecraft related). Could backing up my minecraft world cause this? I don't know if his things can be retrieved, but I hope they can because those pictures can't be replaced. I honestly feel awful and I hope I can find some way to fix this. If this wasn't the cause, does anyone have any ideas on what I could have done to cause this?

Moderatormanual backup up of minecraft is copying the folder, if minecraft did any backing up it would ONLY touch the files it uses in the minecraft folder.
something else has happened like accidental deletion of files/folders, or some malicious software, or a bad drive, this is NOT minecraft related
I didn't think so, but I wanted to make sure. Thanks webrosc.
LoRaM100: I only play single player.
Single or multi-player?
I only play Single-player and once in while even he is a pain!
I created an additional folder (TempStorage) under .minecraft.
I drag the copy of the world I'm going to play from my desktop to TempStorage.
I then create a copy from "Saves" to my desktop. That way I have the latest two versions of the world I'm about to play.
