Archive

Recent entries, kept in a simple chronological list.

  1. Preserve the source and the result
    A browser-ready copy is convenient, while the original text and assets are easier to repair. Keeping both avoids an unnecessary choice.
  2. Checksums detect quiet damage
    A recorded digest cannot restore a file, but it can prove whether a later copy is identical and identify corruption before it spreads to backups.
  3. Context belongs in the archive
    Dates, authorship, licences and a short description explain what a group of files represents when folder names no longer feel obvious.
  4. Test restoration on a clean machine
    A backup is only a claim until it has been restored somewhere that does not depend on the original server or its hidden configuration.
