I know this topic has been discussed previously but perhaps things have changed so I am curious:

Is it safe to BACKUP Rapidweaver projects using SpideroakOne? I am not referring to syncing. I mean allowing an app like Spideroakone to backup RW project files.

Thanks for your support.

Hi there!

As long as your document is set as a **Portable Document** (configured in Settings \> General).

A further safeguard would be to zip (Right-Click \> Compress) the project file after saving it. If the .rw integrity is compromised, you’d have the .zip.
