Perform backup, export, and archiving

This is real work, not a feature someone invented — it comes from real job ads and real questions people asked. Below are four ready AI prompts: get it done, make it easy for the next person to say yes to, work out the right move when you are stuck, and stop it coming back.

Get a backup of the 'Summer Campaign 2024' website, export all its content as static HTML files, and then archive the old 'Spring Sale 2023' site, making sure it's removed from public view but still accessible internally if needed.

Before I back up the 'Q3 Product Launch' site, check for any broken links or missing images that would cause issues when we restore it later. Also, ensure the sitemap is clean so the export is accurate, and flag any large files that might slow down the archiving process.

The backup for the client's main portal failed again, and I'm not sure if it's the server or a script issue.
The automated backup for the client's main portal failed for the third night in a row. I'm worried about data loss if we can't figure this out before Monday. The error logs are vague, and I can't tell if it's a server timeout, a permissions problem, or something in the custom export script. The client's security team is already on edge. What's the most likely cause, and what's the fastest way to diagnose and fix this without bringing down the live site?

I keep losing time chasing down old versions of content for compliance audits.
I'm constantly losing hours every month trying to locate specific historical versions of web pages for compliance audits, especially when legal asks for content from two years ago. Our current archiving method isn't making this easy. What habit should I change to ensure I can quickly pull up any past version of a page, complete with its original structure and assets, without having to manually dig through old backups?

Questions people actually ask

honest answers, no sign-up

Every task here was seen in the real world. Someone doing the job named it, a real job ad asked for it, or a lot of people asked about it online.

If nothing real showed a task, it is not on the page. That is the whole rule.

They are the same job approached four ways, because what you need depends on where you are.

Get it done today. Make it easy for the next person to say yes to. Work out the right move when you are stuck. Learn the pattern so the job stops coming back.

For most of these jobs it can carry the heavy thinking - draft it, sort it, check it, rehearse it with you.

It cannot sit in your chair, take the blame when a number is wrong, or notice what nobody wrote down. Let it do the first 80%. Keep the last 20% that is truly yours.

No. Copy any prompt and paste it into the AI you already use. No account, no score, no wall in the way.

Any of them. The prompts describe the work rather than naming a product, so they are not tied to one assistant.

That is also why they keep working when you switch.

Change it freely. Every prompt is a starting line, not a rule.

Put in your real numbers, your real names and your real deadline. The more you make it yours, the better the answer comes back.

The tasks come from real job ads, published job data and the questions people ask in public forums.

The steps come from HTML's own documentation, with practitioner sources for the traps the manual does not mention.

Push once. Ask it to sharpen the weakest part and to say what it assumed.

Most wrong answers come from a missing detail rather than a bad prompt - tell it the thing it could not know.
