Copies of Latest Files

In Vault Settings, the vault administrator can choose to keep an extra copy of the latest files (that is, the latest revision of every file). Select or clear the Keep extra copy of latest files check box.

The copies are in a folder called latest that only the administrator can see (in Windows Explorer). The latest folder does not follow vault folder structure. The files in this folder use the complete real file name (in other folders, file names appear with an underscore in place of the period in Windows Explorer).

  • A good use for this folder is to zip up all the files in case of a catastrophic system failure.
  • If disk space is an issue, you can save disk space by clearing this check box. All files in the folder are deleted.
  • If you select the check box, all the latest files are created.
