Hi Dianne,

Two effective ways of storing all previous and current HTML coded pages
are 1) create a backup disk 2)as individual directories in your operating
system (eg. Unix).  This way your files are always accessible and can 
be easily updated.  Just be sure that you make the older version
unreadable so that you do not end up with someone viewing old information
on your site.

Hope this helps.
