Creating efficient site backups with dreamweaver

This is the simplest way i could think of to create efficient backups.
What this will do is download only files edited since the last backup.

1. Create a new folder anywhere on your computer for your backups
2. Create a new folder inside this folder called "latest"
3. Create a blank text file in this folder with the name being today's date
4. Create a new site in dreamweaver by duplicating your current site, then editing the local site to "latest"
5. For the first backup, you're going to need to download every file. Go ahead and download it all.

For all future backups:

1. Select your backups site
2. Above the list of your files, there is a bar that says "Files". to the side of this, there is an icon of bullets with a down arrow. click this
3. Select edit
4. Select "Select Newer Remote"
5. This may take a while to load, depending on the size of your site. Wait for it to finish.
6. Open Windows Explorer (or the equivalent of Windows Explorer on your OS)
7. Find the "latest" folder. Open it, and find the date of when you created the backup (should be written as the title of an empty text file)
8. Rename "latest" with the name of the date of the backup
9. Create a new folder called "latest" in the same place that the previous folder used to be
10. Create a text file in this folder with the current date
11. Go back to dreamweaver and click Download
