Backing up your website is indeed a very important thing to do. I did not back up my site and as a result of not renewing my web host subscription, my site is offline and I have no copy what so ever of the over 40 pages to my web site. Trust me, I will not make the same mistake again. In the future, I'll use Kompozer(formerly NVU) to make a back up copy of every page of my site on my hard drive, plus a memory stick or CD. I certainly wan't to back my site up on removable storage as well - not just my hard drive. As my hard drive could crash as well, causing me to lose all the data on my hard drive. A matter fact, it is a good idea to back up any important data/files on your hard drive. I have a friend who just had his hard drive kick the bucket, and he has lost a lot of files, that will not be easy to replace. Unfortunately, like me, he is learning the lesson to back up your data the hard way.
