| By default FTM creates a copy of the currently viewed file(s) when FTM is closed down, it will create a backup onto the computer each time you close FTM.
So when you close FTM it creates two copies of the file(s) that are open, a main .FTW file and also a backup .FBK file.
It is possible to change the default option so the .FBK file isn't created but it isn't really worth the risk, the files won't be large enough to slow the pc down to any great extent.
FTM opens files by specified paths, by using a file just from the memory stick creates it's own problems, as it wil create a copy and backup each time you close the file, (you would finish up with mulitiple files and that can be a nightmare), anything you add to a file will not automatically be added to the stick, you would have to save the newly edited file back onto the stick each time you add or amend anything.
