Hello,
I have a VI designed to a user to write and update data that is displayed on a tree. The data can be saved to an XML and can be opened for later use and updating. My question, is it possible to tell Windows to copy the XML file and paste it in a different folder (back it up) via LabVIEW before the file is officially opened? This way the user isn't responsible for having to do it every time they wish to alter the XML.

Yes, it can be done using 'Copy' node (available in 'Advance File Functions'):

I am upgrading from Labview 2012 32 bit to Labview 2014 64 bit version. Can anyone help me how can I take a backup of the VI's. So that I should I not face any load error to run VI's after installing upgraded version.
Last question, I am using 64 bit Windows 7. So, will it cause any error, If I switch from 32 bit to 64 bit ?
I am using many DAQ's to read data from hardware, How it differs from upgraded version ?
I copied the files in different folder. I was just curiuos that, is there any other way to back up files.

How can I do that ? Can you give me step by step procedure to perform this using source code control system. Because, here the test bench is fully connected with hardware (DAQ) and many VI's. Help me, I dont want to face any upgrade issue when I install 2014 64 bit.

Go look up Tortoise SVN. It actually has nothing to do with LabVIEW other than it is maintaining your VIs in a database.

Just like that. There is no particular reason for using 64 bit. If it causes me an error. Then, I will go with 32 bit version of 2014 Labview.

I strongly suspect that if you install 64-bit LabVIEW (particularly after you have been advised not to do so unless you have a really compelling reason to do so), you will probably regret it, particularly if you then decide to install the 32-bit version. LabVIEW is pretty rigid about what can be installed "on top of" what ...
