Hey writers, blogger and anyone who does business. I remember when I took computer classes in 2nd grade and the teacher use to shout over and over again, “save your files!”

This is true with your online files as well. I’m using Time Machine to backup my computer files (although I’m paranoid my drive will fail after this happened to a friend) but it’s also important to backup your online files. If you have a blog, make sure the MySQL files – this is the database where all of your posts and information is stored – are backed up regularly. If the server goes down, your host may not have an extra copy.

Or in the case of JournalSpace a pissed off employee might nuke everything. Read about it on TechCrunch: JournalSpace Drama: All Data Lost Without Backup, Company Deadpooled.
