Reminder: Backup Your Files

If there is one thing I don’t like about data base driven websites it is the fact that if you don’t backup your files from time to time then can easily lose everything. Since switching to WordPress I have had to restore a backup at least 2 times. Now the reason for this is mostly my fault, but it is still a pain to deal with.

So this is just a quick reminder to those who may not have done so in awhile, Backup Your Files. If you have a portable hard drive or a usb flash drive then that is the perfect place to put your backups. You really don’t want to just save them to your computer hard drive, Lord knows your computer might crash all together and you would lose everything.

Anyway, just thought I’d post this to remind myself and others to Backup Your Files, if possible try to do this every few days or so. If you write alot of blog post then I recommend doing it every day before you go to bed, you would hate to have to rewrite a few days worth of articles, unless they get cached as soon as you publish, if that is the case then it would just be a copy and paste then republish.

As always, thanks for reading, and don’t forget to Backup Your Files.
