If By Root Files, You Mean Those...
5 August 2002
in the www subdirectory, they can indeed become corrupted. Mine have on two different occasions. At this point, I’m thinking it happens if I ”rush” Radio. If I get ready to move on or post something else while Radio is somehow processing/upstreaming/gathering news or whatever else it does without telling me, I believe files can get hosed.
Further, I believe a backup of the www subdirectory is sufficient to allow someone to completely download a new copy of Radio and restore his or her work using the www folder. But, I haven’t seen that written anywhere, so I could be wrong.
Windows Scripting Solutions offers a useful batch program that will append a date to a filename. I’ve been meaning to take the advice of a bunch of Frontier users and regularly save backups of my Radio Userland root files, which reportedly can become corrupted, though I have yet to experience this problem firsthand.
