@daniel. I’d say I’m an advanced novice in Xara, but I’m terribly bad at understanding computer drives and code. The basic thing is I’ve learned that the Xara back up is not something I want to save.
Now in all my work I do a “save as” for my projects, adding the date to the file. It’s a pain for 4 websites, and 4 newsletters but I also have those files on a slim movable drive. I also save to a large thumb drive monthly.
Everybody has their own way. But I was totally confused what the Xara backup listed in the manual really was.
@acorn has a more dynamic arrangement, a very good one.
One may also save their files to various clouds, but I sit on a number of local committees and most of their files are cloud based.
I wouldn’t mind finding a cloud system that my local groups are NOT on, but that’s another project.
As long as one backs up files, and knows the files to back up.
So many users do not, but that’s another coffee discussion.
Thanks for your comments.
