[Framers] [EXTERNAL] Backups

[Tom Beiswenger]

I swear by Rick Quattro's ArchiveES and Convert Documents add-ons. ArchiveES archives the complete book, including graphics and text insets, and maintains the integrity of all links and cross-references in another location. We then run the Convert Documents on the archive to add mif conversions of all of the FM files to the archive, which makes it easier for us to work across platforms with other users, especially translation agencies.

One of the first FM lifesavers I heard about in the early days was Bruce Foster's Archive utility. It copied FM document folders to specified locations and adjusted reference links.

Perhaps someone on the list knows if it still works with recent Windows and FM releases, where to find it, etc.
