Back up the API Instrument Folder

computer, and then rename the folder. Use the date and an instrument reference if
there is more than one instrument when folder is named; for example, API

backup into the Projects folder and then change its name back to API Instrument.

Function
Creates a subproject. Subprojects can only be created later in the
process if the project was originally created with subprojects.
Subprojects can be copied only from another project that has
existing subprojects. If the same folders exist at both the project
and subproject levels, the software uses the project level folders.
