B I found that the easiest way is to open the current upto date workspace
and then use the save as from the file menu to re save it in the other
locations ... thus having 2 or more workspaces with current data ..

I only yes the main workspace for backtesting etc and the other on a
separate HHD as a backup just incase.

I cant see any need to use a different workspace for testing unless you
where changing the data for what if type situations

Regard David
