[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1803237, member: 396914"] The challenge with all of the possible solutions is the slight delay between the original save and any automator/sync action. What the OP apparently wants is simultaneous saving to two files, which is not possible, AFAIK, except into a RAID array. If the delay is acceptable, then the easiest is to use something like Dropbox, or OneDrive, or even iCloud drive to sync the files. I suppose an automator file, as Sly suggested, could be created, but the advantage of the sync approach is that the copy is now off-site, with additional safety of not being even in the same building. As I said, a RAID array running RAID1 will save two copies, one on each drive. If the array fails, the working drive will have the files. At least that's how it's supposed to work. [/QUOTE]
