Maybe you don't need to worry but I have dozens of sites to manage. Your computer is not indestructible and it can also get stolen.
Where do you put these backups? On your computer or on a backup drive? Every backup drive I've had has failed within months, so I don't count on them either. I cannot afford to lose an entire day's work so I keep my remote webserver and local synchronized while I'm working.

That's when all those back up sessions come in handy! ;-) And I've just found a component called JoomlaPack which is quite easy to handle out of the box and backup a Joomla site. So, why worry? 2010/2/15 Donna Marie Vincent <donnamarievinc...@yahoo.com> Yeah, working locally is great, until something happens to your computer and you lose everything.

I've been trying out XAMPP in my Mac and it works like a charm! Easy installation, easy GUI (could be improved). Once started, it doesn't matter wether I close or not my browser, it's still there. Database and Joomla installations are a breeze. And I've done those more than once just to make sure. I even realized how EASY it is to work on a Joomla site locally then uploading it to a remote server!! ;-D 2010/1/14 Joomla Training <i...@joomlatraining.com> Yes - unfortunately. If you check the support forum, its had the full-on spambot treatment. Apparently the developer got sidetracked by another project, Symfony. Steve I'm a more hands-on kinda guy, but I can't get enough of macports. I get everything, even the "hard stuff" that most folks never bother trying on a Mac. I'd also like to point out to my good friend Gary Mort that macports has...MongoDB. :-) -- Mitch, ducking under his desk _______________________________________________ New York PHP SIG: Joomla!
