Hi Susan,

Perhaps change the background color of the data? This can be done in the Company Profile of each Adagio program. If the backup has a different color than the live, that would be an obvious indication. Also you could change the company name and include the word BACKUP.

Also, you should set the shortcuts that other people use directly to the live data directory. That way it doesn't matter if you look at the backup copy. To do this, edit the Shortcut Properties and on the target (after the program name), add the parameter /dI:\data to force loading data from this directory. You also need to add the parameter /eXXX where XXX is your data extension.

Information about available shortcut parameters is available in the Adagio Fundamentals manual.
