Hi Veronica Pages does something different then TextEdit. Pages makes a backup file that actually says back up before the name of your file in it. This has saved me a few times. I also got myself a drive that would work with Time Machine. Time machine is a program that does automatic backups every hour if you wanted to. Apple recommended that I get a terabyte drive, even though they said I didn't need something that big right now, it would give me anfor a long time to come. I really like using Time Machine. Regards Gigi
