I 2nd what Geek says: “Using a USB storage device for backup can be really useful. It’s portable and if you have meetings with clients, you can easily show them a sample of your website using any computer”.
I have experience the same.

This is great advice and I probably should be doing it more often. I would like to add though that the new windows workspace thing is also a great way to store backup files that way you could also access your files on any computer as well.

Many webmasters do forget to backup their sites! It is weird though, because most businesses remember to backup their data, but forget to backup their online storefront. An online backup is actually pretty easy too.

Definitely a good advice. It is good to note that every time you are working for something be sure to have a backup of your files so that whatever worst that will happen, you won’t be sorry. Problems may occur along the way so be prepared.

Very good advice indeed. I find it easy to backup websites on my USB storage device and just keep it in my top front desk. Those things have many GBs of space and using USB 2.0 is fast. My sites don’t take up much space and the backup is quite and easy.

For sure great advice for people who dont always think too far ahead, like myself.

I have on many, i mean many, times made a clients website, and then somehow managed to loose the lot before i have uploaded it or even saved a copy.

I now use a little software script that ghosts files into another hdd should the worse happen, and on so many times i have been thankful for this.

It saves around 6 hours of data recovery, and the cost of it.

So, backing up is key. As said, keep a few as you never know what can happen.
