hmtoggle_plus1DatasetBackup

 

We now include a facility to automatically create backup copies of your data.

 

Auto options:

Opening of Dataset - this means a copy of the dataset is made just before it is opened.

Closing Dataset - this means a copy is made when it is closed.

 

Date/Time Stamp - A date and time (20091225_142201) is added to the dataset name.  In theory a backup is never overwritten and many backup files will accumulate over time.  If uncheck, a single backup is made and replaced.

 

Backup Path - by default it is created in a folder called 'backup' under the data folder.  You can use any path you want.
