Recovering Project Data in an Autosave File
With autosave activated, after a problem occurs, Twin Builder checks the lengths of the original file and the autosave recovery file.
- If both the original and the autosave file are of nonzero length, the Crash Recovery dialog box appears. You can re-open the original project file (Projectn.aedt) to recover the solution data, or open the autosave file.
- If the original file has nonzero length and the autosave file has zero length, Twin Builder ignores the autosave file and attempts to open the original file.
- If the original file has zero length and the autosave file has nonzero length, Twin Builder displays a message and attempts to open the autosave file.
- If both the original file and the autosave file
have nonzero length, Twin Builder displays an error message.
Warning:
When you recover a project’s autosave file you cannot recover any solutions data.
Recovering an autosave file means you will lose any solutions data that existed in the original project file.
To recover project data in an autosave file:
- If your workstation or Twin Builder has unexpectedly crashed, launch Twin Builder from your desktop.
- Select File > Open,
and select the original Project_Name.aedt project file for which you want
to recover its autosave file.
The Crash Recovery dialog box appears, giving you the option to open the original project file or the autosave file.
- Select Open project
using AUTOSAVE file to recover project
data in the autosave file, then click
OK. Twin Builder replaces the
original project file with the data in the autosave file.
Twin Builder immediately overwrites the original project file data with the autosave file data, removing the results directory (solutions data) from the original project file as it overwrites to the autosave file.
Warning:- If you choose to recover the autosave file, you cannot recover the original project file that has been overwritten.
- Recovering data in an autosave file is not reversible.
