I've been saved many a time by simply backing up my content. @Josh

Yeah, I’ve had that experience multiple times; not with blogging but other projects, and once I even lost it on the due date! I’ve been saved many a time by simply backing up my content.

No, this is not a hardship in the grand scheme of things, but wow did it feel bad! Great tips, my friend. Hopefully most bloggers will never need them:) I lost my whole blog for 48 hours in month two. No, this is not a hardship in the grand scheme of things, but wow did it feel bad!

Once I was on deadline, but my computer crashed and all my work was deleted! I was forced to get up at two in the morning to redo it. None of it would've happened if I had simply backed it up. The services you mention are also very plausible. @Ajay

Definitely. Once I was on deadline, but my computer crashed and all my work was deleted! I was forced to get up at two in the morning to redo it. None of it would’ve happened if I had simply backed it up. The services you mention are also very plausible.

Loss of content is disastrous. Other than Wikis, using online word processors like Zoho Writer and Google Docs also helps. I'd recommend saving in both the locations, just in case something happens to the servers. Backing up is definitely something all writers need to do. What you say certainly is true.

So far, saving it on both a Wiki and on my computer has helped a lot, and I've always been able to recover it in one of the places if the other goes down. There's really no way to have it 100% safe, but 99.99% is pretty good, as well as whatever online thing you're using will always come back up eventually. Steven

Because all my writing goes on my blog everything is saved at Blue Host. However, I don't even trust that, so it is important that I back-up stuff to my own computer too. The only thing I'd have to worry about then is if BOTH my computer and Blue Host go down simultaneously, which is unlikely to happen. Important stuff.
