Well, Q 2010 DID do the multiple backups for R1-R2. That was the problem;
the user had no control - it was their way or the highway. Unlike previous
versions, it ALWAYS made a new backup with a different file name (-1, 2
etc.). They took that function away due to pressure not to create so many
copies, but they should have left the option in so that some people might
like the way it worked recently (multiple backups, but have a choice.);
well, given one or the other, I'm glad it is back to the way it worked
previously.
