Backups: creating and managing them

When you work on your website, you may occasionally do something that damages your site beyond repair, and the DL team may ask you in that case to do a “clean install” or other scary thing that means you lose all your work on your site.

To prevent that worst case scenario, we recommend periodic backups for your work. Here’s a slideshow that explains how you can create automatic backups, and how you can remove them when you start to get messages that you’re running out of disk space.

These slides will automatically forward every 15 seconds.

  • use the back/forward buttons to browse
  • turn off the autoplay in the three-dots (“kebab menu”)
