It is good practice to make sure the Auto-Backup Directory and options are configured the way you require.
Go to the Application Menu (Crest logo) in top right and select Options.
The Auto-Backup settings have a default configuration which are set to a Backup time interval of 10 minutes. The default directory is set to a ‘Valesco Backup Files’ folder within the users local documents area.
‘Verify file during save’ is also recommended to be ticked.
How ‘Auto-Backup’ works:
Auto-Backup in Valesco is a backup of your current project in case of system failures.
Valesco auto-backup operates when the EVC file is open or changes have been committed. If an item is in the process of being edited, the auto-backup will be suspended until the user commits the changes. Once the changes are committed, Valesco will automatically run a Backup.
The Back-up files are saved the Backup Directory prefixed with an ‘AS’ these can be opened as normal EVC files.
