Tips for 100% backup?

While I have to agree that Dropbox falls short of a true backup solution, you can recover older versions of files*, and can also recover deleted** ones in the web interface from up to 30 days in the past–even if you’re only using the free account. If you pay for the “extended version history” option, you can restore from up to a year in the past.***

Have you ever actually tried to do this for a Scrivener project? Since a Scrivener project consists of potentially hundreds of files, each of which will have its own Dropbox history and none of which have easily human-readable names, I would say this is too tedious to attempt except in cases of extreme emergency. Much better to pre-empt the issue by configuring a true backup capability.

Hi Katherine,

The context was zipped backups, so not as complex a scenario as a Scrivener project.
