Begun Backing Up My CP Articles
-
I've begun the (painful) work to save all of my CP articles to my local drive. (Since I've seen no answer in Bugs & Sugs to OG's message) I must say I am very happy to see that downloading the HTML automatically downloads the associated article images. Who else has started this work? Anyone? Maybe better stop procrastinating. :rolleyes:
I haven't done articles, but I've backed up all the code to BitBucket or GitHub years ago. Not that I'd use that code these days (I've learned more stuff) but still... I'd say just use [https://archive.org/\](https://archive.org/) but it's offline. :laugh: :laugh:

Yeah, most of my code is at GitHub but I've found some that is not. I've got just about all of the relevant articles I want backed up now. The thing is, I honestly wrote articles & shared them so that later I could refer to them via CP links. :laugh: CP was supposed to be my backup. What now?! :rolleyes:

Am also thinking of rep points. They'll all vanish into thin air. More importantly, have bookmarked several articles. Now, going through all those bookmarks, and downloading what I feel are important, is also a time-consuming exercise.

I don't plan to. I just have too many articles. Even thinking about backing them up freaks me out. :wtf:

I always made PDF backups but now also have HTML backups.

The fox knows many things, but the hedgehog knows one big thing.I probably should have done that from the beginning. Too late now.

Well, I mean... I have all the files I wrote for them and the zip files I submitted, sooo...

It's a good thing I haven't written as many articles as you! :-D

I know it's quite painful. But most of my articles I wrote so I'd remember the content better and so I could refer back to them. I've referred to my article on SQLLocalDb tool usage (Dev's User Guide To SqlLocalDb (Sql Express)[^]) numerous times over the years. I definitely grabbed that one. I also wrote 5 chapters of Electronics For Makers which exists here an nowhere else. Backing them up isn't too bad, if you, 1. go to search & search for your author name (that'll give you a list of your articles in reverse chrono order (newest first) 2. open each one in a new tab 3. click "get html for article" 4. save as Not too bad.

But there's the code and everything too. It's not all on github, although i think most is

I have a large list of articles I've accumulated over the years. I use the Print view, then right-click, Save As, MHTML. While it does include images (in a single file) what it doesn't do is include the associated downloads. [Edit] Is everybody doing this right now? CP is being rather slow...would hate to see some DB go down, and nobody to bring it back up...

Yeah but your code is worth sharing (with others). Mine, I feel, is just worth keeping (for myself).
Thanks. I figure if it's important enough I have it on github.
