You can save backup copies of the original files from a batch process. Backup copies of files are placed in an Original Files subfolder in the same folder as each original file.
To back up batch-processed files:
1 | Choose Backup Original Files in the Batch Process dialog box or click the ellipsis button. |
The Save Backups dialog box opens. | |
2 | In the Save Backups dialog box, choose how you want to back up the files: |
![]() |
Overwrite Existing Backups keeps only one copy of the previous file. When you run a new batch process, the old backup copy is replaced by the new backup copy. |
![]() |
Incremental Backups keeps copies of all the backup files. When you run a new batch process, a number is appended to the end of the file name of the new backup copy. |
For example, if a file called Picture.gif was being backed up using Incremental Backups, the first time the batch process runs, a file called Picture.gif would be copied to an Original Files subfolder. The second time a batch process is run on Picture.gif, a file called Picture-1.gif would be copied to the Original Files subfolder. The third time the file would be called Picture-2.gif, and so on. | |
Note: If Backup Original Files is deselected, batch processing to the same file format overwrites the original file. However, batch processing into a different file format creates a new file in that format and does not move or delete the original file. | |
3 | Click OK to return to the Batch Process dialog box and finish the batch process. |
