is there anything?
p.s. you could be workin in read-only file so nothing will be saved
It’s always stored where your skp file is however I think that is the backup from when you last pressed saved and is the file before you pressed save.
If you haven’t saved in over 6 hours, then you’ll find the version of the file from the moment before you pressed save.
Yes, i know, but somehow this time it didnt create an skb file in the project map.
I thought i would get a reminder/question for the backup version after reopening the original file, but there was no message. Maybe cause SU did not create a (new) skb file?
Only after reopening the original and i hit save, it magicaly generated an skb file, bit to late unfortunately.
So i staarted a system search for the skb file(s), without luck.
Thanks for the ereminder where bakcups could be saved.
Again bit weird there was only one backup for today since i work almost everyday with SU on various projects.
Will have to double check next time to be sure autosave is working
There still should have been a .skb backup in the same directory as the .skp file. I wonder why that didn’t happen.
In addition to saving your files locally you should be publishing them to your Trimble Connect storage so you have backups and incremental versions to fall back on if something on your internal drive goes pear-shaped. And you should probably manually save more frequently than ever six hours.
Like wise, also thought it would have saved a backup skb in the project map, like most times.
Guess it wil stay a mistery why it didn’t yesterday/today.
In the past years never had such an issue and my local backups work just fine, in combination of saving several versions (concept-, preliminary draft-, design-, final-version).
In addition, losing 5 minutes ain’t that big of a problem, but 6 hours … made me nervous hehe
