Timed Backups

To reduce potential loss of work, Java Analysis Studio offers a timed backup of text files.  This option is not selected by default, but you can select it by:

• selecting the 'Timed Backup' tab on the 'Options' dialog.
• setting the options on that page:
  • Specify the time (in minutes) between backups.
  • Specify the directory for backup files.  This directory must exist already.

The files will be saved in the selected directory according to the same name they normally have.  Unnamed files will be saved according to their hash code (an integer that should be different for each page).  You may wish to clean out this directory periodically.
