Mike,

A good idea...if you have broadband and lots of server space. Seems like
this would be an especially good idea if you travel a lot and need access to
your files.

I actually have redundant backup on external drives, other computers, and
DVD copies stored at my office. I have some databases that are over 15 years
old, that I could never reproduce, so I tend toward overkill when it comes
to backups.

David,

I also like uploading the file to my site.

Read this article: Common Sense Computing 101 aka "Why in the world would
you lose your publisher file?":

Its a little like salt in the wounds now that you lost your Pub file, but
David does offer you a way of rebuilding your site from your html files
at the end of the article. Basically you will open each .htm file in
Publisher, and save as a Pub file, and copy and paste each page to one
file. Your home page is the index.htm file and the other pages are
contained in the index_files folder. A bit tedious, but at least you can
rebuild your site....and then back it up externally. I really like
external USB drives for backup, and they have come down so much in price,
they really are a good investment.

So my computer crashed, and I lost all of my files. I purchased a new
hard
drive, re-loaded everything, and upgraded to office 2007. The website
was
created in Pub 2003. I have downloaded my "index_files" folder and
"index"
file back onto my computer, and would like to make them back into a
regular
publisher file. Any suggestions appreciated!
