Hello everyone,

I have two issues related to drawing data backup:

1) How can I ensure that Allplan always creates this backup folder when starting a new project? Currently, it’s inconsistent—sometimes it creates the folder, and sometimes it doesn’t.

2) How can I configure Windows or Allplan to automatically create daily shadow copies of file after a certain period so that I can use the recovery function from Windows when the file have fails or damaged?
Thanks!

Hello,

The data in the Backup folder or the .bak files are not systematic backups of your data. They are simply useful files for Allplan in the event of a rollback.
If you wish to have a backup of your data, use Windows Backup or specific backup software (such as SyncBack Free, UltraBackup, etc.).
Allplan files can be backed up at any time without using a Shadow Copy system.
