You've put a lot of work into your custom webpages. You don't want to lose them on account of a software glitch, or perhaps another admin (or even you) running into finger trouble.

You can quite easily back them up so that you can replace them quickly if trouble strikes:

Launch the admin console.
Choose the webpage you want to back up.
Click on the "Source" button.
Now select all the text (there's even a button to do this for you) and copy it.
Paste it into a text file editor, such as Notepad, and save.

That's it!

As with any backup, it pays to make sure they are kept up to date.

To restore, just reverse the process: copy from your backup file and paste into the "Source" window.
