I’ve been working on my website non-stop for the last couple of months. Every time I need to start over, delete old file and republish all files, I have to re-set up Armadillo and reupload all my blog images. @nimblehost can you help? Is there a particular file or files I can leave that will keep that from happening?  
thanks, Lisa

Hi Lisa,  
On your server there is a folder that you have to keep without republishing: rw\_common / stacks / armadillo / media, since it is where the images are stored.  
If you use Yummy or Transmit there is an option to not delete it.

Best
