[foxboro] Automated SaveAll

Hi,
We have automated the creation of savealls for all our control stations.
The basis for this is the Ron Deen / Marco van der Waal save_all.sh.
This scripts creates 15 incremental back-ups.

I used to compare the timestamp of the checkpoint file  (.UC) and the latest 
save_all to see if a save_all would be needed but as we also have the auto 
checkpoint feature enabled we end up with creating a save_all every day. If 
within that 15 days nothing has changed we will have 15 identical save_all's.
Therefore we recently modified things and now check the timestamp of the 
workfile (.wf).
However, today I noticed the save_all was not updated after deleting several 
blocks with ICC.
I found that the timestamp of the .wf was not changed, however the timestamp of 
the .O files of the compounds concerned was.

Could I be sure to cover all ICC changes by checking the timestamp of the 
latest .O file for a given CP or should check both the .wf and/or the .O file 
(whichever is newer)?

Any info appreciated,
