New from Maptools (local saves?)

Hey everyone, I'm a veteran of Maptools for a decade, new game and looking to try roll20. Looking over the setup it seems fairly easy to figure out except some nuances. Something that terrifies me is I don't see a way to backup my campaigns locally. One of the more recent threads was of someone losing a campaign. I would feel infinity better if there was a way to locally save my games, and possibly load/use them without being online. Is there a way to do this in roll20? I think it would be a dealbreaker if I cannot. Another minor question, most of our games are in person, the avatar feature is there a way to load an image rather than a camera?

There's no way to backup a campaign locally. For archive purposes, you can make as many copies of a campaign as you want, whenever you want, and they'll have everything in it. For the record, I dont know how people manage to delete their campaigns accidentally. To do so, you have to click on a dropdown, select Delete Campaign , then you get a warning that you are about to delete your campaign, and to confirm it you have to manually type the word " delete " into a box and then click OK.  So, I wouldnt worry about that. For you final question, If you switch off the camera, it will show your avatar pic in that box, and you can change your avatar inside each campaign. 

I don't think it's so much accidentally deleting a campaign, rather than accidentally deleting the wrong campaign.

Aha, that makes more sense. I could easily see that happening.

It does not help that 'Clear Chat Archive' and 'Delete Game' are right next to each other.  The first asks you to type 'confirm', the other requires 'delete'... which are both logical responses for either activity.  I try to be hyper careful each time I'm clearing my chat archive :P :) GiGs has the rest of your questions covered, bran b., so welcome aboard :)
