Always back up your files, for your website and for anything else. Don’t be like me: I tried to get cute and refactor the script that produces my blog and ended up irretrievably deleting my entire drafts folder, which contained about a dozen posts in progress.
This little mishap also ruined my RSS feed with a lot of duplicate posts. If you had my feed in an RSS reader, please remove it from your cache and reload it. That ought to fix any duplicates.
