Automatic backup available in Revolution?

Post by mluka » Mon Jun 25, 2007 11:08 pm

Hi, all.

Can Revolution be set up to automatically backup a stack that is being worked on?

(Without having to put my own script in whatever stacks I'm working on, of course...) :wink:

Thanks!

Michel ~

are you looking for a timed auto-save or such? None to my knowledge - so keep on pressing C-s whenever you feel you need a snapshot.

if you want serialized backups just a click away.

Cheers,

You could easily write a script in separate stack than the one you are working on to have automatic backups made... or you could use some other third-party software that will perform regular copies of any kind of files... actually even a simple cron script would do the job.

Cheers.
