Question

How to create a back-up version of your helpsystem

My institution is going through a conversion of our core systems in September of this year and I need to develop a process for updating the 700 helpfiles I have within my helpsystem.  Is there a way to create a mirror image of my helpsystem so that I can work con-currently on both helpsystems?  This way when it comes time for conversion in September, I can simply publish the mirror image copy that has been updated with the correct procedures and the old version would no longer be live.

I am currently using RH7 but we are in the process of being updated to RH9 but I am not there yet.  Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks so much!

    Just take a copy of your source files in Windows Explorer. Then you'll be able to open both projects con-currently.

    RoboColum(n),

    Thank you for the help!  Can you explain to me how I would go about taking a copy of my source files in Windows Explorer?  I do not understand what you mean?

    Thanks again!

    1. Locate the directory where your RoboHelp project files are.
    2. Copy this directory to your PC clipboard.
    3. Paste the directory where you want it to go.
