I use “save as” to create a new project file anytime I make significant changes, which makes it easy to “go back” to a previous version if I screw something up. Whenever I open an older version, I get this message:
A backup project newer than this project exists!
Do you want to open this backup project?
…and then when I say no, it asks if I want to delete the backup, so I say no again.
I KNOW automatic backups are created, and if I wanted to open one of them, I would do so deliberately. Is there a way to turn this annoying message off?
hey did you figure out how to turn off the message? I’m still running Cubase 7 so I get this message still…
Yeah I’m still dying to figure this one out… Anyone? I’m now on Cubase 9/9.5 and I still am getting the same thing… just checked all the settings and can’t find anything
It’s 2024 and I still get this.
Means that I can’t open a project and walk away immediately. It will ask me this every time, and therefore when I come back with a coffee, instead of having the session open, I have to say NO NOT THE BACKUP, and then wait 7 mins for the project to load.
What a waste of time.
Every year, I check again if this is fixed. Man, it’s ridiculous that you can’t click on your project and come back 10 mins later to see it loaded. Instead, you come back to see Cubase tell you about a backup file that IF YOU WOULD HAVE WANTED IT, you would have oepened this one.
This, and safe mode. What an annoyance.
Just save right before closing / save-as and the saved .npr should be later than the .bak.
I think the warning is good for more or less obvious reasons.
I do “save as” a lot, for the same reason you do. Particularly right before doing something wild and crazy and usually right after I have done something I really like. I also do what MattiasNYC says every time. The warning is a good safety feature. Per you question I do not know how to defeat the message.
