I need to get into the habit of backing up properly - The thought of finally getting somewhere (in my case, not very far) and having to start all over because I've made yet another silly mistake fills me with dread. Luckily, following earlier advice, I've started printing out the html files before I attempt to do anything with them at all and saving copies under different names. Reading recent postings - Jonty's idea of saving an additional copy on the webserver makes a lot of sense too:
"I encrypt and upload mine to a subdirectory beneath the www folder with a completely random name eg asd79hJL0P which no-one will ever be able to guess and then password protect the folder using .htaccess - should anyone be able to find it, un-encrypt and download it then fair play to them as it is NEVER going to happen" Posted by Jonty - 26th Aug.
Only trouble is - don't know how to do any of that??? How do you encrypt and upload a file?? Do you need special encryption software or can even the likes of me manage it?
Thanks
