use a source control system (svn, tfs, hg, ....), so you can always revert to any revision at any time. Or create backups before you start editing in the admin ui and are not sure it'll work out as expected..
To put them in version control, are the templates and stylesheets located somewhere in the Umbraco file structure? I was assuming these were just stored in the database.
Or are you saying I need to cut and paste into text files whenever I change something?
Usually the directory in which Umbraco sits is held in a version control system such as sub version.
When any changes to css / templates / xlst etc are made a file on disk will be updated (the contents of items like these do not live in the database). Then the files can be submitted to the version control system.
Back up templates, styesheets, etc?
It appears you cannot revert to older versions of "Settings" docs such as templates, style sheets, etc. like you can web pages.
Is there an easy way to back these up, so in case I mess one up I can go back to the previous one?

Hi Tesuji,
Yes, the Templates, CSS, UserControls, XSLT etc.. are all on the file system (although templates are also referenced in the database).
