Friedrich,

Is it possible to set the location of these files? At present, the install
directory is littered with 0001 files, and would be really handy to put
these in a backup sub-directory within the install directory. I'm not quite
sure how to accomplish this.

Thanks very much for your help.

Yes, no problem. The following line in the script defines the Backup
location:

! %_SB_BACKUPDIR% holds the path that all backup files will be copied to
when
! overwritten
Set Variable %_SB_BACKUPDIR% to "%_SB_INSTALLDIR%\BACKUP"

Does this help?

BTW, if you have all the backup files in the install directory I think you
have already manipulated the above line.
