Configuring Settings
-
a) Set 'GETsPath' - This is the relative path from your document's location to your backups.
-
In the Object Catalog pain double click on GetsPath (under My Macros & Dialogs | Standard | AnnotatedBackupsSettings)
-
To the right you see: GETsPath = "AnnotatedBackups"
-
You can change "AnnotatedBackups" to any path you like. You can also set it to "" (empty string) to put the backups in the same folder as your document.
Windows: Make sure this is a valid subdirectory name, i.e. to help get you started, don't use these illegal letters: \ : * ? " < > | . There are also some other names with legal letters that are illegal so you've been warned. (For backward comparability a leading slash is ignored.)
-
-
b) Similarly set 'GET iMaxCopies' - this is the maximum number of backups saved of any one document.
-
In the Object Catalog pain double click on GETiMaxCopies (under My Macros & Dialogs | Standard | AnnotatedBackupsSettings)
-
To the right you see: GETiMaxCopies = 50
-
You can change this to some number other than 50. 0=no maximum.
-
-
c) Advanced: Set 'GETsB' - With each backup request multiple backups can be done in a variety of file types.
- Find the array:
- Enter the world BACKUP in lines in the array sB() to select alternative formats to save into.
-
d) Close this dialog.
