CAUTION : When protecting a movie or casts, MAKE A BACKUP!!! because once it's protected, you won't be able to do anything to it. I
used the backup option when protecting my movie, but for some reason, it didn't back the files up, and had to create the casts
again, and li,k every thing back to it.
Yes. Always, always, ALWAYS back up your code *by hand*. All it takes is one mistake to hose months of work, and Director's built in backup option seems to be a little unreliable.
What I do is create a "release" folder that contains duplicates of all my stuff as I expect to protect, package and release it. That way I know for certain I'm nuking only the files in that release folder. It's not that different in principle from having a "source" versus a "target" or compile directory for lower-level language IDEs.
