TSE: File: Backup: How does the backup process work?

===

Steps: Overview:

 1. -If you set the backup settings as follows

     1. -If you set 'backup path' in the configuration

         1. -Whenever you save your file, also a file with the same
             filename is saved in that backup path

             1. -E.g. you are working with the file

                  c:\myFilename.txt

             2. -Your backup path is set to

                  c:\temp

                 1. -When you save this file, it is

                     1. -Saved as usual in

                          c:\myFilename.txt

                     2. -But also in the backup path
                         in a file with the same name

                          c:\temp\myFilename.txt

     2. -If you set 'backup extension' in the configuration,

         1. -Whenever you save your file, also a file with that
             extension is saved in the same path as that file

             1. -E.g. you are working with the file

                  c:\myFilename.txt

             2. -Your backup filename extension is set to

                  bak

                 1. -When you save this file, it is

                     1. -Saved as usual in

                          c:\myFilename.txt

                     2. -But also a backup file
                         in the same path, with
                         that backup extension
                         in a file with the same name

                          c:\myFilename.bak

     3. -Note:

         1. -If you set the 'backup path', then
             the 'backup extension' is ignored.
             The backup will then thus be handled
             according to setting of the 'backup path'
             process.
