Creates a new document. Each document contains information on which folders are the source and destination folders, what items to exclude from the synchronisation, and other information selected from the Special menu.
Open
Opens an existing SwitchBack document. All this information was previously specified by the user and saved using the Save or Save As… commands detailed below.
Close
This will close the document, asking you if you want to save any changes first.
Save
Choosing this item saves the changes you have made to the document on to disk. If the document has not previously been saved you will be asked to name the file first.
Save As…

This displays a small dialog with four options:
Use Temporary Memory — SwitchBack will make use of any available memory that isn’t currently in use by the system or any other open applications. This speeds up the performance of the synchronisation, but only works with System 7 or later. Under System 6 simply increase the preferred partition size.
Sound — if checked, a sound will play when the synchronisation has completed.
Quit After Automatic Start — with this option checked a document that automatically starts after double-clicking it will cause SwitchBack to quit after completion. If this option is unchecked then after completion the Finder will be brought to the front under System 7, leaving SwitchBack still running.
Unmount Volumes After Backup — any required volumes that are not mounted when the backup starts will be unmounted when the backup is complete.
Quit
Selecting this option allows you to quit SwitchBack. If you have any unsaved documents currently open, you will be asked whether you want to save them.
