Yes, that's the logical scenario I was thinking of ;-)  I have the

mod date for each file selection.

Thanks for the confirmation.

Overwriting on an intranet (allmost unlimited diskspace). Why not just backup the old files ?

Arjen

Because documents (primarily PDF and Word) are being updated constantly, by various employees/departments. When employees browse documents, they expect each to be the most recently updated version. If a particular document is uploaded and the existing document on the server is actually more recent (uploaded by another employee), I want to avoid the more recent document being backed up.

Ideally, there could be a filenaming convention that contains timestamps as documents are created/modified, but we cannot rely on that...many employees already have trouble conforming to standard rules, ie avoidance of certain characters. That's why I want to try and control things server-side, as documents are uploaded.
