How many story arcs can you save?

Unpublished arcs, custom critters, custom enemy groups are all saved on your computer and not the games servers. You can design and create as many arcs, custom enemies and groups as your hard drive will support.
It's not until you publish an arc that the information is sent to the game's servers for permanent storage.
Yeah, you might want to back them up if you're afraid your computer will crash on you.
The files themselves are tiny. Arcs are limited to just over 100 kb.
Eva Destruction AR/Fire/Munitions Blaster
Darkfire Avenger DM/SD/Body Scrapper
Arc ID#161629 Freaks, Geeks, and Men in Black
Arc ID#431270 Until the End of the World

This.
It would be completely obnoxious to have a dozen or so in progress arcs vanish in addition to all the other headache that occurs after a crash. I recommend a USB thumb drive for this.

It's possible that having a bazillion story arcs in the Missions directory could break the AE interface somehow, but other than that, yeah, just hard drive limitations.
And for a while things were cold,
They were scared down in their holes
The forest that once was green
Was colored black by those killing machines
I want to start by sharing my thoughts on the AE or MA or whatever it's called. I really love it! I hope that not only does CoH and CoV keep it going and keep making improvements, but I hope other PlayNC games like Aion will get something like this, also. I want to not only keep my CoH/CoV subscription, but I would want to also subscribe to Aion also!
Anyways, I have two questions.
1) Do you need to back up and files on an external hard drive to save your missions if your computer crashes or breaks?
2.) I am aware that unless you buy more Story Arc Slots, you can only publish 3, but how many story arcs can you save total?
I got two I really want to keep, but I want to unpublish them temporarily to make room for more story arcs until I can afford to buy the 5 more AE published slots, but I am worried about those story arcs getting deleted because they aren't published.
