   do you guys back up your php files to your local hard drives?

   Yes, and I edit them there as well using a code/text editor. I also keep my database backed up:

   I don't preview, I just have a backup copy of whatever file I'm editing. If something goes wrong, I'll just upload the backup copy.

   I agree with iridiax. I did some format changes today on index.php, home.php and styles.css. The first thing I did was create a folder and named it 'revised files' and put the files I'm working on in it. I take this extra step to prevent a mixup. I've gotten my original files mixed up with the modified files working late at night so I take the extra step to keep the modified files separated from the original files. Good luck!
