Your website has two copies: the live one online, and the editable one on your computer, called your project file. A live website can't be turned back into a project file, so it's worth protecting the project file. Back it up 1. In the Projects window (File > Projects Window...), click the three dots next to your website and choose Make Backup.... 2. Turn on automatic backups: EverWeb > Settings > Backup (Windows: Edit > Options > Backup), then tick Enable Automatic Backups. 3. Set the backup location to an external drive or a cloud folder. A backup on the same computer won't help if that computer fails. To go back to a backup, click the three dots next to your website and choose Restore from backup. Move to a new computer 1. On the old computer, click the three dots next to your website and choose Show On Disk. Copy that file (it has a long, random-looking name) to a drive or a service such as Dropbox. 2. On the new computer, install EverWeb, copy the file across and drag it into the Projects window. 3. Sign in at EverWeb > Settings > Account (Windows: Edit > Options > Account). Install any custom fonts too. Work on two computers Keep the project in a Dropbox folder. Let Dropbox finish syncing before you switch, only open it on one computer at a time, and use the same EverWeb version on both. Full guides: How Can I Backup my EverWeb Project File?
