I guess it would be a nice added feature, but why should EzineArticles.com need to store every article in two places? It’s a privilege to all the authors that all their articles take up space on the directory after they’re approved. The other place that the articles should be stored is on the owner’s hard drive. If it isn’t, that’s nobody else’s fault but the author’s.

Speaking of article backup, I work from two computers and today one of them went kaplooey. Every time I started up, Windows XP booted and then immediately shut down. The computer finally made a wretched croaking sound and, well, I think she’s gone. The now-dead computer is where I happen to do most of my article writing- so all my final drafts are on that hard drive. What I’ll have to do now is take all the articles on this website and repaste them into documents on the still-living computer. This will be a slight annoyance, but I’m just happy they’re safe in their little home on your server(s). I really do appreciate it.

Wow, that is a great idea. This way it is now saved in many places at once. I like this feature, how much extra will that cost? for Dina, try this. Reload the operating system and go into C:/documents and settings/dina giolittos documents/… and most likely you will find them. Even if they were in your My Documents files when it all crashed. They most likely are still there, but if not in the future it would be great to have EzineArticles.com have all your articles ever written, because the writers get the exposure and they are backed up at Ezine Guru Articles Archives and online bringing you referrals.

It seems to me that having your documents backed up online at EzineArticles.com is one more reason to get all your documents online as soon as possible without delay. Great ideas here
