CopyWrite isn't quite a word processor.
It isn't quite a notepad application like textedit either.
Instead, it's a way of writing. CopyWrite keeps different versions of a document, keeps notes on a document or project, and not lose data... Ever.
It saves with each keystroke, so that should the computer crash, application crash, or some other rarity, nothing is lost.
In fact, I prefer to compose in it, solely for that reason. It keeps all documents listed in a Binder drawer that hangs off to the left side of the interface. I can place the chapters of a book project in the Binder drawer and then proceed to write each chapter, and different versions of each chapter, taking notes in a separate drawer on the chapter, and have it all saved and waiting for me, no matter what may happen.
Then I'll take it to my favorite word processor and format it and apply styles to the text.
In it's newest version, it has version management which freezes all but the current version. If you please, you can freeze the current version and revert to any previous version, or create as many new versions as necessary. It has find, replace, bold, underline, and delete tools, as well as a link feature for creating links to web pages or html files stored on the hard drive. It does not allow you however, to link to other text files created with CopyWrite, or link within a CopyWrite document.

How does it deal with something like a hard disk crash? Does it back up your documents to an external server?

It encrypts them and stores them in the Ether.
