I just wanted to share with you all a tip (or not) that I do when I create sites.

I do a "save as" (fairly regular)and keep the file on a removeable disk, also known as a computer key. Here is the tip: When saving my files, I use the site name (or portion of it) with the date it was saved in numeric form; ie: 071306 which is July 13, 2006. This procedure lets me know the most recent file for that site. Cool

Hope this helps. Big Grin

If someone already suggested this, please excuse me. Red Face

No answer ? Confused

Well I think there is no silly idea and I think you're right to give this tip.
Might be obvious for certain people but not for everybody, especially I'm sure that quite a few guys don't even backup projects and then if something happens, they might just beg for miracles and/or insult the soft or their computers.

I said it several times here, I usually save my projects twice like 'jewelry.ims' and 'save_jewelry.ims'. I never work on a 'save_xxx' and always open the original. But regularly and especially before I do important modifications, I first save a 'save_xxx' project (copy of the original)
Believe me, this has only helped me once but if I didn't have this backup...%^$#":@ Mad so that is enough for me to keep it that way.

Maybe Guys you have other ways to save your (precious) pages and I will always be happy to read it here.

Anyway thank you Nancy ! Cool
