The "backup" files aren't really backups. Once you understand what they actually are it will become clear that they can only exist in the same directory as the working source files. The "backup" are actually the last saved version of the file but with a new, secondary filename extension. When you select the "Automatic backup on save" option, all that FrameMaker does when you do a Save is rename the previous version of the file with a .bak extenstion rather than flagging it for deletion by the OS. The "backup" is therefore always one save behind the working file unless you go to the extra trouble of making FrameMaker let you do two consecutive saves. If you save frequenty, the differences between the .bak and the workng file may not be major, but the .bak will *always* lack the last set of saved changes. -Fred Ridder _______________________________________________
