Need Advice on Backups
Need to know the best way to manage backups.
My PC crashed and I had everything duplicated on an external drive. BOY was I lucky.
Now on my new PC it says that NOF is not backing up or needs a new default area.
How should I set my backups.
I thank you for your time.
With best regards,
Tony

Fusion backups or drive backups or machine backups? Assuming Fusion, just
back up the templates you create for each site.

But those backups are only the nod files. For a full backup you need to
create a template, which is a zip file; it contains all the assets, etc. for
the whole site.

If you store your user sites in a Dropbox folder, you'll have access to the site files wherever you go and you'll also have automatic backups.

Dropbox looks interesting, Thank you
Thanks for the idea of Dropbox. As long as the net stays up it will work! I guess I should mak another copy on my HD and external drive also in case they go down.
Best to be safe.
Thank you

It'll work even if the net doesn't stay up. The files are stored on the local computers, as well as on the Dropbox server. So if the connection to the internet goes down temporarily, it just means that the Dropbox version doesn't get updated until the connection is re-established. But any computer that's connected to the Dropbox account still has access to all the files.
