How Auto-Backup works
Following are the steps that the product takes in order to back up your files:
1 A default AutoBackup folder is created below the product directory during
installation. You can change the location to a different local or network directory
as needed.
2 A control file named AutoBackup.ini is automatically created to track files in the
selected backup location. If you change the backup location, a new .ini file is
created there.
3 When working on a file, Auto-Backup creates a backup file with the following
name convention: filename + an incremented 3 digit number + the file extension,
for example, myfile000.htm.
4 If the application closes abnormally, all open files saved by Timed Backup will
open in the editor when the application re-starts.
5 If Timed Backup is not enabled and the application closes abnormally, you can
open the last backup version of a lost file from the backup location.
6 A Timed Backup file is deleted when the original file is saved or when the
application closes normally.
