Saving files and making backups - do as I say, not as I do

So, I was working on a page yesterday and was nearly finished. I just needed to copy the content from the data file into the XML and upload it all to the server. But then my son started screaming downstairs. I thought, "I'm so close, I'll just speed up a bit and run downstairs to console him, so Mark won't go crazy." So instead of copying the content from the data file, I copied the XML into the data file - overwriting the content. No problem, I've got Ctrl-Z undo, right? Well, sure, but when the undo is larger than the buffer that's saved, well... <sigh> It was gone. I had to rebuild the content from scratch. So much for quickly going downstairs.

Have you ever made a mistake like that? Joseph discovered that he needed to learn more about his Web design program when all his links switched unexpectedly. And lots of other people have had similar problems with Web design. It's not all fun colors and layouts. If you've ever made a mistake when working on a Web design project, believe me, you're not alone. I've received over 40 Horror Stories. Why not tell your story I promise not to post your name - unless you want me to.
