Back-Up Your Apps
by Michael Humby

Before making any changes to your application it is good practice to make a reserve copy first.

Assuming your application is contained in a single folder as recommended by Alpha:

- Open Windows explorer and create a new folder with a name like 'Reserve'
- Then right click on the original folder and select "copy" from the drop-down list to copy your application folder
- Right click on the 'Reserve' folder and "paste" in the application folder.

You will now be in a position to revert to your previous version if you are not happy with your changes or things go wrong. This simple elementary routine can save hours of frustration.
