WP 5.1 timed backup - Sunnycat

Posted: Nov 30, 2012

After a couple of years using Word, I have forgotten how to set backup time for WP 5.1 and this is imperative since living in FL with many electrical storms. After 32 years with HCA, I was outsourced and now am setting up as an independent contractor MT. Thanks for any help you can give me. HELP!

I have WP12. Don't use it that often but to set the timed backup of docs I go:

1. Shift F1 (for settings).
2. Files.
3. Document tab. In the middle of that document tab you will see "Timed Document backup every _____ minutes."
4. Hit Okay.

Hope this helps, fellow Floridian.

I could not believe my eyes when I read a question re. WP5.1, it has such fond memories for me. I have a Gateway 2000 with WP5.1 which I used for years as a self-employed MT. My kids are urging me to dump this computer, however, I am so attached to it, I have just let it sit for years, all info removed, of course. I am so happy to see a ? on this subject. Anyone else out there fond of this old standby? You never know, some day I may get a call from some older doc with a matching program????

Shift/F1 - Environment - Backup Options.

Don't forget F3 will get you into the Help screen where you can just hit "b"

Good luck and enjoy the best money-making program ever!

I hope someone can help me. I know I need to back up my files (especially my work files, SH, etc.) I see ads on TV about back up options, I have heard of other ways to do this as well, like an external drive. My dilemma is that I don't know which is the best way to do this. I have a Dell computer and every so often a box comes up and says backup not done. I never click on it. Does this mean I should have make a disk with everyone on it that I wa ...
