We are avalanched with so much information to retain that it is difficult to keep an handle on it.

Of course, this is only a suggestion and one size does not fit all but it a basis to work from.

only mention 1 Website data folder above but it should be replicated to how many site you have (with the subfolders suggested, of course).

Apart from having this structure setup on your computer, you should keep a pen handy with a backup of everything.

The last task of each day should be to backup the day's data on to the pen!

IAs an added precaution so that the information contained does not fall in the wrong hands check out a free encryption program called TRUECRYPT to store one container with everything in it.

I hope that you find my suggestion useful as I do and practice it everyday.

Success to us all
