Yes, I just started doing incremental back-ups, but while I'm working on the score, and sometimes I spend hours without quitting Finale. That is not as good as your method, because if the file I'm working on gets corrupted but stays open, allowing me to edit it, all the saved copies from then on would be just as corrupted, even with their different names. What I'll do then is to quit Finale more often, every twenty minutes to half an hour, and do the incremental saving at the beginning of esch session, as you do. Thanks. Harold
