Please Do A Back Up

3 July 2003

We don’t know whether this is hype, hoax or hackers’ paradise. Whatever system and tools you use, please go back it up. Back it up to some drive or media that you KNOW is secure. Don’t gamble.

I have a three-step back-up routine for this Movable Type weblog:

  1. Back up the Movable Type entries
  2. Back up all of the Movable Type templates
  3. Back up the blogrolls

I’d also suggest that you find a way to export your RSS subscriptions to an OPML file for safekeeping. That covers the weblog. Now, think about all of your data files, your Quicken or Quickbooks files, your project files, your photo or music collection…

The list goes on. Just do it!
