We're all familiar with Murphy's Law: If anything can go wrong, it will! You can protect yourself and keep the boss happy by keeping archives of your work in case of human or computer error. Develop the habit of backing up your local files before making changes. You can back up individual files, or entire sites. Make a complete backup of a site before embarking on major changes, especially where multiple files may be modified.
-
Make sure your local directory is up to date by getting all the site files from the server.
-
On your Desktop (NOT in Dreamweaver), find and select the folder that contains your local files
-
Make a duplicate of the folder:
-
Windows - Right-click on the folder and select "Copy;" then right-click again and "Paste"
-
Macintosh - Highlight the folder then select "Duplicate" from the "File" menu
-
-
Rename the new folder. Add the date at the end (i.e. "localfolder052702" for the archive of the site as of May 27, 2002)
