backup

Hi Can anyone tell me if backup of scores is automatical enabled? Tonight I wanted to look at a backup that I did earlier today and in the folder where I thought backups would be, it was empty. I checked in the preferences and it seems to default to 5 backups. Are these when you write and go to undo the last action, or is it a backup, say every five mins, when you are writing a score and the full score is backedup?

Many thanks for a great forum.

Backups are made every time you save. Autosaves are stored separately (every 5 minutes by default, I believe) but are cleared every time a Dorico project is closed normally. You’ll likely find deleted Autosaves from today in your Trash/Recycle Bin.

Check the backup projects location in the Files section of the General page of Preferences.
