This makes WAY more sense. Great thanks! While we have you here, can you please weigh in on the idea of grabbing the entire HS3 directory for backup purposes? Any issues to be aware of there?

Rupp, don't disagree but the HS3 release notes are a bit vague.

Nice. Good to confirm it doesn’t actually save with every change. Glad we can cut down on the spread of “misinformation”.
