Is there an easy way to backup all files replaced during install to a backup folder? My setup installs a couple dozen files into the system folder and I want to back them up to a backup folder under my application folder.

The best work around I can come up with so far is to select "create backup" on all the appropriate files and then use a batch file to copy *.bk? and *.bak to my folder, but that is not a very clean solution.

I also don't want to write a batch file to manually backup each file.

Which version of Setup Factory are you using? (SF5 or SF6?)

With SF6, you could copy the files to a backup folder before any of your files are installed using actions.

SF5. I haven't started using 6 yet, I guess now's the time to switch.

Thanks
