This will depend on what backup software you're using and has nothing to do
with Word. -- Suzanne S.

I do not have ANY backup software (except Juno Backup Wizard for Juno
e-mail). I have Windows XP. Any suggestions? "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: This will depend on what backup software you're using and has nothing to do with Word. -- Suzanne S.

Windows XP Pro has Backup installed. Windows XP Home may have the Windows
backup program on the Installation disk, but it is not a part of the normal install. See: "HOW TO: Install Backup from the CD-ROM in Windows XP Home Edition" he http://support.microsoft.com/default...;en-us;q302894 If you are unsuccessful in locating the program you can download it he http://www.myscacc.org/Forms/ntbackup.msi Floppies?

Although not specifically aimed at this task, Microsoft's SyncToy makes a
fine job of backing up data http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/u...o/synctoy.mspx though please don't use floppies. Get a USB flash drive. Never ever read from, write to, or print from floppy with Word. These are the most certain methods of ensuring document corruption. Copy to the hard disc and work on the document from there. This is equally relevant to other removable media such as CDRW and Flash drives. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Backup of All Documents wrote: I want to create a backup of all my documents each week.

How do I back up all my documents onto floppies?
I have Windows XP Pro but cannot find Backup (including doing a search but
not knowing which of the backups that were found is The One). Online directions take me into Control Panel, Accessories, but then I don't find anything the directions tell me to click onto.

The referenced article refers to installing the backup accessory on XP Home.
I have XP Pro, which I have been told here already has backup installed. That is where I am stuck. Thank you. "Suzanne S.

How do I back up all my documents onto floppies?
I have a slightly different problem. Everytime I create a document in
office, it creates a back up. I think I created this somehow when fooling with my settings, but now I don't know how to get rid of it. It is jamming up my memory.

That is controlled by the option "Always create backup copy" in the Tools
Options Save dialog (in Word 2007, Office button Word Options Advanced Save). You have a couple of misconceptions, though: The backup is not saved when you create a document, it's made each time you save *after* the first save (it's just a renamed copy of the file as it was before you hit the Save button, so it isn't the same as the latest copy). The backup does not "jam up your memory"; at worst it clutters the hard drive a little, and you can delete the backups at any time. Most important, though, if you turn off the backups in a misguided attempt to run "clean", the day will come when you'll mess up a document and wish you had a backup. A better backup (and a real copy of the current file, not a one-version-back) can be made with fellow MVP Graham Mayor's macro at http://www.gmayor.com/automatically_backup.htm. One of the things it does is to save the backups to a different folder than the document's location, which means you won't have to see them unless you go looking for one. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.
