I assume you do have automatic backup selected to keep the last 10 copies of your saved work.
This is your Master file (.web or .xar).
Obviously you save this to a cloud store automatically too.
I expect you copy the Mater file onto a USB stick just to be sure.
Paranoid enough yet?
No?
What you really need to do is Export website... to a local folder.
Say you have 50 pages and the first is called index.
You will then have 50 .htm files and one folder called index_htm_files.
You should save these and your Master to a CD.
Done enough?
No?
You probably dropped a lot of pictures onto you pages.
You may have chosen to optimise these.
If so, you have lost the originals - save these to your CD too.
All done?
No?
Try restoring your site from everything your have on your CD.
I bet sometime you cheated and uploaded one tiny little file directly onto your site using Filezilla.
I bet you've forgotten and Xara never knew...
PHP, Widgets, placed all your objects off the published part of a page so you think I just copy what I can see into a new build of my site.
Oh, what was my upload password,my logon name and even where I am publishing too?
You do have a notebook with all your design details somewhere?
Don't get me started.
