I was saving my project as I was going along., but another thing I had to be wary of was backing up my project in case something were to happen and all the files got erased.
I asked my lecturer how I could set up another failsafe and they informed me of the correct method to back up my project.

The way I had to do it was right click on the folder and navigate to “compress”. This would create a zip file of the whole project that I could sent to my Google Drive or take with me anywhere. Just to be extra safe I sent this zip file to my USB as well as my hard drive so I had three copies in total.
