Libreoffice Multiple Backups?

Is there a way, setting, macro, or otherwise, that can automatically create backups of the current document in a series? Such as, working on a Writer document, pressing a macro button, and creating a backup at that time, so that there is another backup added to the previous backups in a folder?

Solution

  • Well, try this

    Sub createBackUp()
Dim sURL As String
Dim aURL As Variant
Dim saveTime As String
  sURL = ThisComponent.getURL()
  If Trim(sURL) = "" Then Exit Sub  ' No name - cannot store
  saveTime = "_" & FORMAT(Now,"YYYYMMDD\_HHmmSS")
  aURL = Split(sURL, ".")
  If UBound(aURL) < 1 Then  ' No extention?
    sURL = sURL & saveTime
  Else
    aURL(UBound(aURL)-1) = aURL(UBound(aURL)-1) & saveTime
    sURL = Join(aURL,".")
  EndIf
  On Error Resume Next
  ThisComponent.storeToURL(sURL,Array())
  On Error GOTO 0
End Sub
