The Sanction automatic backup is designed to create a backup of the XML file for your case.
If you want a "snapshot in time" style backup with all associated exhibits and files, you will need to manually save the case directory.
Note the following:
Sanction has the ability to open and reference all data files with the .Ins5 file and data directory contained in the same location.
• | By default, the data files for a Sanction case are stored in UserProfile\Documents\LexisNexis\Sanction |
• | To make a complete backup of the XML and data files, select the .Ins5 file and the folder with the same case name and archive them together |

• | Archive your case with a program such as WinZip or by copying all files to a backup location of your choice. |

|
Check with your network administrator regarding any network policies.
