Backup from within Word with the click of your mouse.
wwBackup provides a simple and convenient way to backup the currently active document.
- Places a menu item on your File menu, so that wwBackup will be available to all documents.
- Saves a list of the destinations selected for backup.
- Can create a mirror folder on the destination drive.
- Works across a network. Requires that the destination network drive be a shared resource.
- Can backup to the same name (a synchronized backup), or to a version number (an archival backup), or to a time stamped copy.

This module will be available in the startup folder for all your documents. And allows you to work with removable media, alternate hard drives, and network drives.
Here's the theory of Backup.
If you're copying a document from My Documents to the root folder (zip, network, whatever) that already HAS the same structure as My Documents, then it assumes I want to do a "synch" and guesses. So copying c:\My Documents\Film\Hawker.doc to a drive that has \My Documents\Fiction --it will assume I want to over write. In this case the mirror folder already exists.
If you're copying to A:\. It will default to
A:\HAWKER.DOC.
If I click "create a mirror" it will suggest copying to
A:\MY DOCUMENTS\FILM\HAWKER.DOC"
If you're coping to a "folder," say, A:\Backup Files or \\Cheeseburger\John Stuff, it will assume I just want to plunk it in the folder:
"A:\BACKUP FILES\HAWKER.DOC",
clicking "create mirror" in this case will add the my documents "sub folder" tree, e.g.
"A:\BACKUP FILES\FILM\HAWKER.DOC"
wwBackup has options for copying without renaming (Straight Copy), with a version number, or with a date stamp.
