Alexp, sorry to blame you for this again, this must get really annoying all the time, but how can we backup our games? Alexp (sorry) told me that although all games are backed up frequently, all creators should have backup copies of their games. I've spent hours trying to backup the DZD series and I'm only halfway through the second one, and that's using copying and pasting. What can we do? I can imagine for users with a vast amount of games (like JJJ, who has the most games if I recall correctly; Mattias has more pages than most peoples stories combined), that this would be a nightmare. If we can't save download them as one file off the site, then what else can we do?

Once again Alexp, sorry for the trouble.

PS: Any new users, try JJJ's games, they rock! I am not being paid more than fofty dollars to say that (if you don't include tax).

LOL -- hahaha you had to let on to our secret! haha kidding.  Backing up is simple, just ask alexp to make a copy of your game?  You are backing up onto the site right?

I meant backing up games on things other than the site, so if anything should happen to the MAG database, we are able to retrieve our games. Or is it possible to put it on other sites too (eg. our own websites)?

Alex periodically backs up the site onto a test site with its own server so teh chances of losing more then a couple days of info is low...
