Post title: Happens even to experienced Transit users

Hi

It probably is not much of a consolation. But I lost two almost finished translations in the past couple of months this way. And I've been using Transit almost exclusively for the past 13 years.

I have started to regularly export projects I am working on. This way I would at least have a partially finished Word file if I lost the translation again. However, this does not work for projects that you got sent as PPF package.

I also tried to regularly use the reference material button on the bottom and copy the files to the reference file folder. But this keeps confusing me when I look up Fuzzies or Concordance, so I do not do this now.

Have a mirrored drive would not help either, as this mirrors the actual state of the file you are working on. Daily backups only reflect the last backup state (which might have been as long as 24 hours ago).

How do other Transit user solve this problem? What kind of backup system outside Transit do you use, Örjan?

Regards
