How to make a backup

The website platform we are using does not include a backup tool. With many contributors adding and updating pages, we should periodically save a copy of our webpages. This document describes a simplistic technique that will save the content of a webpage.

1. Open a blank document - Google Doc, Microsoft Word, or other.
2. Open the website and navigate to the webpage you want to backup.
3. Click into that webpage, then select all, and copy (Control-A, Control-C).
4. Select the blank document and paste (Control-V).
5. Save the document into an appropriate folder.

How to restore lost content

1. Select a suitable backup. You can use one you saved into your own space. Or pick one from from the site_backups folder within our shared space.
2. Open the Site editor.
3. Select the appropriate page.
4. Select the appropriate content from the backup.
5. Paste that content into the appropriate webpage.
6. Verify that results.
7. Publish the site.
8. View the site and verify that the lost content has been restored.
