I just uploaded a batch file to help in making a backup of your route.I have been using this program for a while now and like the results.
The program will check to see if any files have been added or changed since the last backup. If any they will be saved to a backup file of your choice. I have a shortcut on my desktop and just click that after I am done with Route Editor. I know a lot of you want something fancier than a batch file but this is a quick and easy way for me to have a program do the work. I don't have great skills in programing, so batch files work for me. File name is RouteBak.zipGive it a try and post any comments or questions here.Glenn

I see the library has this utility file listed now. If it helps anyone with backups I'll be happy. Once set up it will only update the files that you have changed since last backup. Only takes a few seconds to run.Give it try and let me know what you think.Glenn

Actually the command line tools for winzip will also do this..You just set an option for the date and start it up.
