See GoogleDriveWisdom for an overview of using Google Drive.

See DesignDoc for an overview of how to write a design document.

Our design documents are now kept in a shared Google Drive folder. To protect against their loss we're making regular backups everything in the "HTCondor Design Documents" folder. _Other documents are not backed up_ (although you can easily adapt these instructions to do so).

{section: Making a backup}

Once per week:

1: Log in per GoogleDriveWisdom.
2: If you've never done so before, following the "Getting Set Up" instructions at GoogleDriveWisdom.
3: Click the checkbox to the left of the folder "HTCondor Design Documents".
4: Some buttons should have appeared the list of files and folders.  Select "More", then "Download..." from the menu that appears. A dialog box labelled "Convert and Download" should appear.
5: Next to "Change all formats to:" click "MS Office".
6: Click "Download"
7: Wait to be notified your download is ready. The dialogue box will probably say "Zipping Complete".
8: Your download should automatically start; if it doesn't click the link "click here to download".
9: Save the download into /p/condor/gittrac-backups/design-documents . The filename should look something like HTCondor_Design_Documents-2013-09-21.zip with the current date in the last part in year-month-date order. If the name doesn't name, change it to do so.
10: _In a different folder_, unzip the archive and open at least one of the files to ensure it looks plausibly correct. You can delete the unzipped files afterward; we're just keeping the zip archive as a backup.
