How do you keep a back up copy of your website? on an update or daily basis? I forgot about a website, I tried changing the credit card to another a few months back, but they wouldn't let me, they said I'd have to wait until the next payment was due, gave them a new e-mail address to contact me as well.
However, I'd forgotten about it, in the meantime they never e-mailed me on the new e-mail and have since completely deleted one of my websites, I don't think I have a copy, will have a look on the old pc but pretty sure that's wiped.
So due to my forgetfulness and their mismanagement I've lost unique content. How can I ensure this doesn't happen again? do I rely on online systems? or do I download every website to a spare personal server at home everynight?
I've suggested to the company I was previously associated with, that they may wish to contemplate saving websites that expire payment wise, on disc for a year and to return said website the owner would pay a fee, unique content is worth something to those that develop it, why they don't do this I don't know, it seems an obvious revenue stream for very little work and space.
How do you back up all your sites and ensure you don't lose your unique content? I
am angry, at myself obviously but also angry at the company for what they've allowed to happen.
PS: They didn't even have the decency to effin write (that old way of contacting a person) and do all possible to keep me as a customer and my website intact.
