Comment:
I would like to know if it is possible for Web Workers to backup files; either
chosen by a folder (even a root folder) and/or backup files of critical
importance with security.

I have been working on SmartFolders since I formed Object Productivity, Inc.
in 1990 and have been looking, over and over for an open standard solution to
deal with this in a secure way

Thanks you,
Robert D. Thompson, author of "The MFC Programmer's Reference" (1997)

What do you mean by "backup files", exactly?
