| Auto Save each | • If this check box is selected, the software creates backups of the project file automatically. • The number of backup files can be set in the Backup Levels box. If the last file is written, the first is overwritten when saving the next time. This way, it is lost!• The desired interval between two backups can be entered in the Auto Save each (min.=0 minutes, max.=100 minutes) box.• The created backup files have the number of the backup in their extensions, for example .dd1.
