Any X-Files lovers out there? Man, I miss that show. Mulder & Scully were the ultimate paranormal investigators in my humble opinion.

Right. But that's not really what this post is about. This post is about making backups when you're just going to replace one little file here and there.

You know I've been updating your site when your FTP manager shows files called "X File" as the type. HA! It's a little footprint I leave behind...but it works great!

When you're going to replace a file on your server, say it's index.html -- rename the original index.html.x and leave it on your server, then upload the newbie.

Good idea right? Then all of your "original" files stick together in a little group of X Files. Easy to find, easy to restore.
