How do I backup my files in PHAWorks RA Edition and PHAWorks Lite?

It is good practice to create a backup copy of your projects to help guard against their loss. If there is a computer failure, you can recover your project from a backup file.

You can customize how you want to complete backups in Utilities / Preferences / Backup:

• Enable timed backup every XX minutes - If checked, the program will automatically create a backup file of the current project every set number of minutes in the selected location. Each new backup file created will overwrite the previous backup file.
• Save backup files in My Documents - If selected, the backup file will be saved in your My Documents location.
• Save back files in - If selected, the backup file will be saved in a location you select using the browse button.

Note that projects are not saved automatically. You must save projects before closing them or exiting the program.
