Wasn't the point that he would be best to edit it in something visual rather than a text editor? Which is possibly true. It should be presented as SVG.

I use a version control system (Mercurial or Subversion), they do the legwork for me whenever I change anything. If you have to consciously "make" a backup, it's a basic corollary to Sod's Law that you won't have made one at the one time when it turns out you needed it. As the choice is either SVN or a Tardis, SVN is easier to download and install. |
