How Often Should I Backup




Backing up your work is important. It's just as important on the mobile device as it is on your laptop or desktop. How often you backup is a matter of habit and preference.

If you feel comfortable (complacent?) that nothing wrong will ever happen, you don't have to backup.

If you are worried or have sensitive writing you don't want to lose, you should back up after you finish a writing session and are sure nothing has gone wrong.

Typically, I backup once a day. Backing up often uses no more space, since a backup overwrites the previous one.

One important rule of thumb: If you encounter a bug or problem with the app, DO NOT BACKUP, until you restart the app, and make sure your writing session is still there. You don't want to backup an error.
