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

This is an old discussion that has not been active in a long time. Before commenting here, you should strongly consider starting a new discussion instead. If you think the content of this discussion is still relevant, you can link to it from your new discussion.
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.
