Ah now that sounds perfect. I don't think the issue is that a nightly backup is insufficient longer term, just that the owners of the document (it's being updated all day) are twitchy if someone has finger trouble or it corrupts itself about how recent a version they could revert to/how much data they'd lose. Thanks! From: Sam Cayze [mailto:sca...@gmail.com] Sent: 14 January 2011 19:03 To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: RE: Backing up an important file every X minutes? Another option is SyncBack. It has versioning built into it. On Jan 14, 2011 10:05 AM, "Bob Fronk" <b...@btrfronk.com<mailto:b...@btrfronk.com>> wrote: > Second Copy will do this.
