To improve the security of data, stored in a project file, you can select Create file backup. Selection makes when you open the file, create a copy of it. A copy is saved in the same directory as the opened file. Name the backup file is created with the name of the file to open and an additional extension .bak.
A backup is created if it does not yet exist or if the existing copy of the file being opened is older than 1 day. To recover data from a backup file, remove the ".bak" extension from the file name. The file extension will then become ".kre", i.e. the file will be opened with Drafter.
In addition, it is possible to activate the function of automatically saving an open file. To do this, enter a time, expressed in minutes, after which the program should save the data. Drafter saves the project to a file named "autosave.~kr", located in the directory with the Drafter configuration files. The location of this directory can be checked in the Directory paths box. It should be noted that the autosave feature does not relieve you from manually saving the file. It provides a safeguard against the loss of recently entered data in the event of a possible sudden spontaneous shutdown of the program (e.g. an unplanned power cut). If such an event occurs, after restarting Drafter, a message will be displayed indicating the existence of an unsaved file and the possibility of recovering it.
Specifying a time equal to zero minutes disables the autosave function.
