Backup files ensure that your plans are not lost should pCon.planner crash.

pCon.planner automatically creates a backup file for your current plan – as long as you haven’t disabled this option in the Program Settings. We recommend leaving the automatic creation of backup files enabled.

You should also set an interval for how often pCon.planner saves the backup file. For this, we recommend an interval of 10 minutes.

With the option Use common folder for backups, you can specify a location for all backup files, independent from the original file’s folder. Especially if you are working in a team, exchanging DWGs over a company network, or frequently changing the location you work, you should set a folder on your local hard drive.
