Maintaining backups

Backup is a copy of project file. The major advantage of backup is to allow you to recover your work, in case you have made some undesired modification on your project. The backup file is usually put along with the project.

Backup is a default setting. After you save your project, it will be produced subsequently. The name of backup file is basically similar to the name of project file, but an extra ~ and a number are appended to it.

Setting the backup level

You can set the amount of backup copy for your own reference. Select Tools > Application Options... from the main menu.

In Application Options dialog box, click General and select a number from the drop-down menu of Backup level under Project tab. The number of backup level represents the amount of backup copy that is produced after a project is saved.
