Setting Backup Preferences
Set backup preferences when you want the system to automatically create—at specific
intervals—a backup copy of a story you are editing. Backup copies are useful if your iNEWS
application is ever inadvertently closed prior to you saving your edits. If this happens, the
software will prompt you to recover the story when you restart the application and log in again.
You can also choose to manually back up an open story you’re editing by selecting File > Back
up Story. If you have manually backed up a story and want to recover that copy, select File >
Recover Story.
n
The Back up Story and Recover Story options appear gray in the menu when not available.
Backup copies are placed on your local computer’s drive in a default location or at another
location that you can specify.
To set backup preferences:
1. Select Tools > Options > Preferences.
The Preferences dialog box opens.
2. Click the Backup tab.
