To make a backup copy of the last saved version of the file currently open
within the File Editor, follow the steps below.
1 In the Name of Backup File field, specify a name for the backup file. By
default, the file is given the same name as the original file but with a .bak
extension.
The backup file will be created in the directory listed in the Current Directory
field. This is the directory in which the original file currently resides,
and cannot be modified.
2 Click OK to save the information and exit the window, or click Cancel to exit
the window without saving the backup file.
Restoring a file
In order to restore a file, the file must be open within the File Editor. Select
File > Restore and the following window appears.
This window enables you to restore a file to its original contents. You can do
this only if you have previously created a backup copy of the file. Follow the
steps below.
1 In the Restore From File field, specify the name of the backup file to use
when restoring the file to its original condition. If you do not know the name
of the backup file, click Select to browse the available files. When you
locate the file, click Open. The file name appears in the Restore From File
field.
Note: If a backup file exists, it will appear in the same directory as the current
file, because you are only allowed to create a backup in the same directory. The
Current Directory field displays the name of that directory and cannot be
modified.
2 Click OK to save the information and exit the window, or click Cancel to exit
the window without saving the backup file.
