Backing Up Triond

This article follows my article about Printing Out Triond.  After losing some drafts and not being able to fix some content, I thought I’d write hints about backing-up your work.

Email, Email, and Email

When you have finished writing your piece, email it to your email account.  This is the only way that you can save a draft.  The Triond system often stores nothing that you have saved in drafts, so sending a copy to your email ensures that you have a copy ready for editing – if it is declined.

Print Out Every Page

Consider printing a hard copy of your work.  As far as I know Triond has not had a major server crash – yet.  I recommend that you print out each piece of work, as you never know, computers being how they are….crash.  All your great work could be annihilated from a server-crash at Triond.

Don’t rely on the fly

If you are relying on your work being saved in, “Drafts,” or, “Pending Content,” forget it.  I have not been able to fix a lot of work that is saved ( or not saved ) on the Triond server.  It is simply no longer there.

Back up onto a Flash Disk

This saves paper printing and ensures that you have all your work on a flash drive.  You can carry it with you, too.

Save to your Favourites

Favourites are another special way to save your Web sites.  They are stored onto your local disk – ready for access – and in your local host.  Yet, even the spider web of Socyberties and Pupleslinkies are insufficient, to hold your work.

Conclusion

The rock-solid way for ensuring that none of your work is lost – is printing – out each and every page.  It will take time but with current printing technology why not publish your own book!?  That way all your work is saved and a beautiful book created.  It might even make a nice gift for the Festive season

Happy Backing.
