If you mean Save a file from a program, that depends on the program.

If an editor or email program is set to save the file every 10
minutes, and nothing has changed since the last time it was saved,
either by the timer or by the user, will it still save the file the
2nd and future times?

The 2nd backup will replace the first one, and so on. Whether the
program backs up an unchanged file depends on how it's designed.


Your (Wolf K) are quite correct. I have observed that some applications
will disable the save capability until the file is changed while other
applications will do a save every time it is requested even if there was
no change. With Office 2007, Word disables saving until the document
has at least the most minor change while Excel will save even if there
were no changes.
