Edit Backup Settings
General
- The program automatically saves backup copies under the BACKUP folder in the user’s home directory ..vxg4/user.
- Files accumulate under the folder, so you should delete them from time to time, or you should adjust the settings to automatically delete the backup file.
- The backup file is always saved in connection with normal saving.
- The backup file is created with the name of the model or drawing, followed by -backup1 ... -backup[no].
- The most recent file always gets the number 1 and the previous ones are named with a higher number.
- Backups are also created from the automatically generated scheduled safe files.
Edit backup and saving history settings
- Select File > User Preferences > Backup-files.
- The program opens the dialog box Backup and Saving History.
- Select the maximum number of backups of one model or drawing to save.
- By default, a maximum of 9 copies will be saved.
- You can choose between 2 and 9 files or none.
- Select how often you want the backups to be deleted automatically.
- By default, backups are not deleted, so disk space starts to fill every time you save a file.

- You can choose either 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 months or no deleting.
