Clarification on Handling Large Book Files

[Art Campbell]

Just as a postscript to this....

If you're not making your own backup of your working files
occasionally for your own use, you're making a huge leap of faith that
everything is always going to work perfectly well in the server room
and the IT department. Ask me how I felt when I discovered that the
documentation servers weren't on the critical backup list... after
they crashed (several employers ago).

Not to mention potentially not being able to reach pieces that you
want to include in your portfolio.

For this reason, I work on a book on my local drive. At the end of the day I copy the folder with the book to the network directory as a backup. I always clear out (delete) the previous day's backup before copying to the network directory. I haven't had any performance issues doing it this way.
