File Backup Settings

Check the Backup every check box to enable the Autosave feature. With Backup, you can save your files automatically, helping to reduce the risk or impact of data loss in case of a crash or freeze. The default Backup time interval is 10 minutes, but you can select a time interval from 1 to 100 minutes.

Once you select a time interval, you can enter or click the Browse button to select a location for the Backup files on your computer. By default, SpaceClaim stores Backup files on your C: drive in your Users folder. If you save your file before your session ends, your Backup files are purged.

When you relaunch SpaceClaim after a crash or freeze, an information box displays to notify you that Backup files are available. To recover them, click Recover from the File menu and select the file you want to open.

Click the Clear Backup Files button to manually purge your Backup files at any time.

Use the scroll box to select the number of days (0-100) that you want to store your Backup files. By default, SpaceClaim sets the number of days at 7.

Set the number of files to show in the Recent Documents list. The default is 8. Can be set to 0.
