Howto backup your website or blog

You can do it by hand, but there are programs that can download an entire website. The one from HTTrack is free and has proven itself for many years. Just give it your web address and it will download everything.

Easy backup of important document

Are you writing a book or just an important assignment for school? If you want a quick and fast backup, then create a free e-mail account at e.g. gmail.com and mail the file to that. Then you can always get your backup copy if you should loose your laptop or USB stick.

Backup your website or blog

Today websites and blogs are often made directly in the internet browser and there is no need to store them on your computer.

But what happens when the service you are using disappears? Then your website is gone. Almost. Try to find it on archive.org or search for it on Google and click the "Cache" link. These ways have saved countless websites but they are no guarantee.

How can such a service disappear? History have shown a company have a total system failure thus loosing the data of their paying customers, while the backup was not working. There are also countless examples of companies stopping such service with none or little notice. If you are on holiday when you get the 14 days "eviction notice", you may not get it in time.
