How it Works.

 During closing or saving a document in Word or Excel, the system will automatically create its copy in the backup folder. If the existing document is being opened for the first time or its copy during the last 12 months has not been created, a copy of this document will be created at opening. The system produces a detailed log of the created and edited documents. You can set global and local options to create backup copies of documents.

Global options allow setting of all the files not indicated in local options.

You can:

- set the main and an additional folder for the copies

- turn on/off backup at each saving of document

- turn on/off backups for all files without a name (created and closed without saving)

- set the number of copies produced for existing files and files without a name

- turn on/off local options for files and folders

Individual files or folders are set in Local options.

For the selected folder or file, you can:

- turn on/off backup for Word and Excel

- turn on/off backup at each saving of document

- set the number of the copies kept

- exclude a folder or a file from backup.

The copy won’t be created if file or folder is excluded but it will be recorded into the log file.

Copies are kept in a backup folder in what month subfolders and year subfolders are created. Folders with the names of all the files opened are created in month folders. In these folders backup copies of the same-named files are kept. The copies names are formed as of the day and time, for example: 14195354.dot: 14 – day, 19 – hours, 53 – minutes, 54 – seconds.

In the folder “!Without name” all created (not empty) and closed without saving documents are kept. In each folder of a month, there is a file Log.txt, which you can view in the notepad or Excel clicking the button Log.

You can switch the system to the hidden mode. The system will be inaccessible for the users and will work in the autonomous mode.
