lindsayanng Posted September 3, 2008 Posted September 3, 2008 So i am REALLY obsessive about backups because i am still new at this thing and i know there is a likely chance that i will break something.. So i usually back up right before i do ANY work, but i never do it after, i jsut think i'm going to backup before i do anything anyways.. WELL, i forgot that my husband was doing work on dreamweaver for the HTML part of the site, and i was doing the php work from the server. So i made all my changes, uplaoded them, and was VERY happy with the outcome. Meanwhile, my husband was making his changes and was very happy with his progress. He uploaded the WHOLE site, which replaced the catalog files that i had JUST changed!!! i was SOO pissed.. so i reverted back to a backup that i had made only 2 days ago.. NOTHIGN.. i did ALL of that work in the one night i had worked on it. I am SOO pissed right now, i cant even explain.. needless to say, my husband now knows not to EVER replace the catalog folder!

satish Posted September 3, 2008 Posted September 3, 2008 I suggest rather then overwriting You rename file with dates as extension and a few days from those stated date You can just delete.

lindsayanng Posted September 3, 2008 Author Posted September 3, 2008 rename the older files?? theres a TON of them, and it could take a long time, but that would work! i think the best thing is that only I do the site uploading. . my husband is REALLY new to the whole web design thing. he learning it just a month ago.. so i will control the ftp.

spooks Posted September 3, 2008 Posted September 3, 2008 I really feel for you, its horrible when you spend time on something & then all the work is lost & you have to start over. Sometimes I make a change on one site then later descide to do the same on another, then have trouble remebering which site & file I did it in first.

You're going to get an ulcer! Hug a kitty. Go scream at a tree, but don't punch it cause you'll probably break your hand...course, then you certainly will be distracted...hmm....no, scratch that. Go eat a whole quart of Ben and Jerry's. Yeah, that should do it.
