This option can be used to save a backup file when saving a file with new changes. Files that are backed up are project, program, system or a driver.
Backup files location can be specified to the original folder (To the same folder option) or to any other folder using Path Variables. See Path Variables topic for more information about how to use path variables. Here are a few examples:
● $(temp)\ATEasyBackup - backup all files to %temp%\ATEasyBackup folder (usually C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Temp\ATEasyBackup)
● $(ProjectDir) - backup all files to the file's project folder
● $(ProjectDir) - backup all files to the file's project sub-folder named ATEasyBackup
Files are backed up using the original file name followed by the date and time were the backup created. the File modified fields is left as teh original file modified time. Here are examples for a program called OnError1.prg backed up twice after two saves on December 9 2022::
