Sanction provides a way to create, manage and restore multiple backup files to back up your case for data protection.
This feature allows trial technicians to have multiple backups with several available options in case of corruption and helps prevent data loss.
Sanction offers the following options to back up your case:
| • | Create a default backup directory |
| • | Set the timing for automatic backup of files |
| • | Designate the number of backup files |

When you create a backup directory, it should contain the same name as the Case Name.
