Local Vs. Testing root folders using MAMP for testing server

hello,

 

i have followed online tutorial setting local testing server using mamp in dw cs6.

 

everything seems working fine, have concern regarding root folder locations.

 

initially, before set local testing server (for first time–i'm unfamiliar teritory), website local root folders (and therefore files) stored in folder called sites on desktop. liked them there because, well, know are, , every once in while copy them external backup etc etc...

 

however, new setup, have used mamp set local testing server, moved local website root folder stored in htdocs folder within mamp application folder.

 

does sound correct? al works fine...

 

i thnk i'm nervous because somewhere along line, while reading on tutorials, author explained reason mamp installs in folder within applications because it's easy delete mamp folder trash if decide don't want use more. if did that, i'd trashing original local website files too. granted, it'd careless of me, bu, guess need "yeah no worries you're set right" , i'll relax it.

 

or... have set wrong, , original working local website root folders should near mamp applications folder (and merely copied there app. when want test pages) ...??

no worries.  set-up correctly.   remote site there if need files it.

but it's still idea regularly copy mamp/htdocs folder external drive.

you can't have enough backups.
