Backup

DesignBuilder will by default make automatic backups of your current working file. Check the Automatic backup option box and select a backup interval to enable this option.

DesignBuilder copies the auto backup file to the Backup folder below DesignBuilder Data folder.

See also Data recovery.

Note: DesignBuilder keeps files in the Backup folder for up to 30 days and removes old backups each time the program is run.

DesignBuilder stores the most recently used folders for:

• Data file storage - default folder for .dsb .skh and .ddf exports.
• Picture file export - default folder for pictures and movie exports.
• Report file export
• DXF file import/export

You can edit these default folders on this tab.
