Because documents (primarily PDF and Word) are being updated constantly,
by various employees/departments. When employees browse documents, they
expect each to be the most recently updated version. If a particular
document is uploaded and the existing document on the server is actually
more recent (uploaded by another employee), I want to avoid the more
recent document being backed up.
Ideally, there could be a filenaming convention that contains timestamps
as documents are created/modified, but we cannot rely on that...many
employees already have trouble conforming to standard rules, ie
avoidance of certain characters. That's why I want to try and control
things server-side, as documents are uploaded.
