Er.. I would not call that a backup then, I would call that a  
"restore" document, oro something similar.

So, when BBEdit 'backups' the file, it writes the OLD file to the  
backup location and then writes the new data to the file?

Then why is the time stamp on the 'backup' identical to the file on  
the webDAV server?  Is it actually not making a new file, but instead  
copying the old one?

Sigh. I guess I need to make sure and save every file twice.
