Re: Help with Managing my web site



David,

I read that - and was impressed. I really don't post here to promote a competing product, unless a poster is looking for something that Pub simply cannot do!

BTW, I don't eat the peppers or their juice (except for the Hungarian Hot Wax, which really are barely above a Bell Pepper as far as heat). But I have heard tales about what they can do.

I did give WP some props in the general newsgroup...

David,

<gloat> WP has an option when uploading or updating a site to include the WP document. It's easy to remember to do it! </gloat>

Yeah, I know about good intentions. In fact I have been getting lazy, and after reading your post I will be backing everything up this weekend. I think a good rule of thumb might be to periodically ask yourself "how much work would it involve to recreate this file if my computer crashed right now? Could I even recreate it?" If its a couple hours, that's one thing. If it is a website file that you perhaps spent weeks on...that is another story.

Thanks David I will give it a look and Yes you and Mike are both correct and,
going forward I will save the pub files in a safe place. And i did have good
intentions. Before of doing so. My old laptop died And i was not able to
retreive that info. dont put off today backing up what you will lose and need
tomorrow.

This also applies to Pub 2007. After reading a good discussion of how to
back up your files, at the end of the article is a method for rebuilding
your Publisher file from the html files. Its tedious, but it will work, and
of course as you go through it, you will be reminded to backup in the
future.

Please don't misunderstand. I am not throwing stones, as I too live in a
glass house and have lost important files because I didn't get around to
backing up. I would imagine almost everyone has. Files go corrupt and hard
drives crash. I have found that I do keep a flash drive handy and backup
files every hour or so as I work on them, and before I eventually backup to
an external drive, and periodically burn DVDs. I also regularly burn images
with Acronis True Image, because I really hate to do reinstalls.

Sorry there isn't an easier method.

Few months ago. I developed a web site. with pub 2007.
My laptop has since crashed and no longer have the original pub files i
have
tried to import the site but each time it is all over to one side and if i
attempt to just simply realign everything. It saves corrupt with missing
information. Any ideas suggestions would be greatly Apreciated.

Thanks in Advance
Pat
