thanks matt - but since I only have demo of pro+ I will not be downloading anything right ?

it happens for me in the senario I mentioned post #2 :

with me it's only when I cancel the close [backups being switched off]
as in cancel the close dialog and stay in the program/document

I realise I may be in the minority in not having xara backups running but I have third party backup of disk and really don't need it
