Upgrade Storageprotecting and backing up files
Hi, I'm a brand new user and am creating a database I'd like to maintain for others to use and build on, potentially for years to come. As I work, I'm finding it's very easy to delete files -- perhaps too easy. So far I haven't found answers to the below questions, but please point me to a relevant thread or knowledge base section if I've missed it.
-Is there any way to "lock" or otherwise protect files and their contents so they cannot be deleted or altered?
-Is there an easy way to create a second, backup copy of a top-level folder with its nested subfolders and contents so in case I screw up royally, I've got my work saved elsewhere?
-Is there any way to undo a deletion?
Thanks so much,
Chad

2. You can't easily back-up individual collections, but it's easy to back up your Zotero library: https://www.zotero.org/support/zotero_data#backing_up_your_zotero_library
3. For actually deleted items (rather than for those removed from a collection), you can find and restore them in the Zotero trash at the bottom left.
