Auto Save
Enable Autosave Solution
Instead of manually saving an ongoing solution at different times, the user has the possibility to set the automatically process of saving the solution.
If the user enables this setting (Disabled by default), the SceneComposer automatically saves your document at certain intervals (30 seconds). If the user is highly concerned about losing data, the interval can be decreased. But if the user is distracted by the hard drive crunching too often, it is possible to increase the interval. Either way, changing this interval is easy by using the "Interval" cursor.
A backup can be created manually by using the "Create Backup" button. In the same way a backup can be renamed or deleted.
Enable Save Snapshot
Saving snapshots function is important for reducing the risk from unexpected outages. By automatically generating snapshots at set intervals, SceneComposer gives to the user the ability to restore the system to a previous valid state. A "Creating snapshot..." message is displayed in the title bar when the backup solution is made. The "Save snapshot" option lets the user to specify:
- The frequency of the snapshots. By using the cursor the user can choose a value between 1 and 300 seconds. The default frequency is 30 seconds.
- The number of snapshots to retain - multiple snapshots can be saved. The default number of snapshots retained is five.
All the saved snapshots can be accesed via Solution Options panel. There, in the "Data Backup" section, the latest snapshots are available in the "Backups for the current solution" field. The user can select one of them in order to restore the solution to it.
Any restore point of the solution can be found on the hard disk as follows:
