Hi Nicepage,

Recently I have started to encounter quite a number of issues with the recent updates. It would be nice to have an option for checkpoints where we can load a previous saved projects on the computer or let the user configure. You can set or we can set 20 or 30 saved projects and more.

Also why can't we save the file as. The problem with Nicepage is that I cannot go back to a previous work like a day before. Or 1, 2 , 3....... more hours before.

Even if I come out of a project and go back in, I cannot revert back. I have to start or redo things again.

Thank you

Myself, I save the file periodically rather than the automatic setup when I've made a number of changes. I've shortened the final name so I can add 'v1.01' and rename the next save as 'v1.0.2'

I followed this pattern for a year before implementing 'git' locally and wrote a script to backup the project instead. Then you can checkout earlier versions and load them if you want. Note: Importing a project results in copy and does not overwrite the current project.

The developers would be reinventing the wheel to implement what your 're asking for. I still track the revisions by changing the information in the projects information information panel so I can be sure I've checked out the correct version of a past project. There are dozens of backup programs available as open source where you can get a version for your OS.

I also back up everything to a DVD - W each month so I can reuse the same disk for roughly a year before copying it to another DVD and keep going. DVDRW formats will only take so many rewrites before errors begin to creep in.

Or you can use a backup program that will just copy the files that changed as another means to do this.

Because there are numerous tools on the Internet it doesn't make sense to do what you are asking for.

Hi Neeraj,

Thanks for the suggestion, but if you need to make a backup copy of the site, please just export it as the project in the desired state. Also you can use all the suggestions kindly provided in the post above.
