Subject:Automatic Backups in FrameMaker From:Paul MacGyver Carman <paul -dot- carman -at- HARRIS -dot- COM> Date:Fri, 4 Nov 1994 09:45:40 -0500
Greetings all!
For those of you who use FrameMaker, do you have Frame configured to
do automatic backups for each document?
If so, why?
Looking through the file server the other day, I realized (smack to
the noggin) that these backups were really taking up a ton of space.
Our department does backups regularly, so for the most part we're
safe on that end. Over the past 2 years I have never needed to
use a backup file, so I was wondering what your experiences were.
What do you think? Turn off the automatic backup, or keep it on and
be happy that I have the option.
