This is hypothetical question, I don’t have a corrupt file. I am considering doing a 70 pages site with Freeway. I am a little apprehensive about the main Freeway file being corrupt and making the whole site unopenable.
Is there a way replace the .freeway file if something should happen to it. Thanks.

There’s no practical way to reverse into a new Freeway document from a site folder or similar HTML output. So if you are concerned about losing your document, I recommend multiple automated backups. Be sure to save every once in a while, too, so there’s something new to back up. Time Machine is a good first line defense, you should also be making manual backups before you branch into a new major feature, just so you can get around the lack of multiple undo.
Freeway will automatically create a backup file each time you open a previously-saved document. However, this backup only updates its contents if you close the document and re-open it, and that fact leads to a lot of confusion. To open such a file (with the extension .fwbackup, found in the same folder as your .freeway document file) hold down the Option key and choose File / Open in Freeway. This enables Freeway to open the .fwbackup format, which is normally locked out to keep you from opening it by mistake.

I see the backup file now. That does make sense that the backup file only updates once the main file is closed. Thanks!

But the only really sensible policy is to make backups using something like Time Machine or
Carbon Copy Cloner - FREE
Chronosync - $40 (£24)
Get Backup Pro - $19.95 (£12)
Intego Backup Express - £6.99
SuperDuper! - £18 Twin - €39 (£34)
To an external HD (or 2)
