Backups? How do you "do it"?

Good, now we know that BNW datas are stored in a safer place that Switzerland's banks!


About me... greater projects have a folder full of backups, i copy and paste the current rom each time i have to deal with hex or music(well, it's hex even in this case) or FF6LE or sprites... it's rare i do the same when i deal with FF3usME, still sometime i export some monster script AI, when it starts to become huge or other stuff...
Each time i do something relevant, i'm used to take note of what i did before/meanwhile/after and save it into a text file, especially the hex code

For greater projects i also write a long list of the steps that i have to accomplish, in order of finishing the hack, sometime i erase or add some point to that list too.

Finally, for CotG i started to write on paper the changes that i'll do to the storyline, dialogues, new events, etc. and i usually do that when i'm on bus/train, going to/from university... at the moment the lore of this hack it dangerously started to expand to a level i couldn't imaginate, before i started to write about that...
