BackupFiles Property

BackupFiles returns or sets the global file backup state. Returns a Boolean. If the value is 'True', a backup copy of an existing file is created before saving the document. The backup copy is saved with a .BAK extension. If an identically named backup file already exists, it will be overwritten. If the value is 'False', no backup is created.
