I have a map for which I want to create a backup of an output card. The backup has a fixed name and should always be produced in the same directory as the card output which is in a subdirectory of the map directory.
This works fine when run from the design studio.

When I put all these seetings into the .msl, save it and deploy, it insists on putting the backup in the map folder. No amount of persuasion appears to get it to do otherwise. I tried naming the required directory via relative and fixed paths and setting the values within the compiled map.

Is there a trick here I'm missing or do people generally avoid the use of backup files. It was supposed to be a quick fix.....

Thanks

Hi Tim
i have had this issue in the IFD when the actual map value is set differently
then the setting in the ifd for backup file, the easiest solution is either open up the map and make the backup the same as it needs to be on server or simply add an addional card using the same tree as your output and just hard code the name, keep in mind this single threads your map so only one map occurrence can run at a time even using the backup file option on the output card

I had removed the backup option and created an extra card to get around the problem. I remember this being a problem with other adapters back in V5.0 days.
Single threading is the requirement for this component anyway.
