Wings Vioso RX has an Autosave Function to save the current project at regular intervals. In addition to this, there are also some other functions which protect from data loss while running Wings Vioso RX.
The functions explained
below exclusively serve data security purposes while using Wings Vioso RX. They are neither
replacement for saving the project nor for creating regular backup copies
on a backup medium. See also Backup
of project files.
The following functions can be used for restoring projects believed to be lost:
Autosave
Function ...saves the current project at regular intervals
to the folder Autosave. This
is the location where the last 10 backup copies named Backup_0.w6 to Backup9.w6
are saved. Backup_0.w6
is always the latest version. Open folder Autosave
by clicking Extras in the
main menu followed by Open folder
Autosave.
These files can be opened directly by double-clicking them. The time
interval for autosaving can be set under Options
- Global Options - Save at Backup
copies.
When a project is saved as usual, Wings Vioso RX saves the old project version in the same folder under Name.w6.bak. So if you happen to have accidentally overwritten a project file, the previous version will still be available. To be able to open the file you need to remove the file extension .bak.
If Wings Vioso RX happens to crash
- which it does very rarely - it will attempt to save the current
status of the project. The corresponding project file can be
found in folder Report and
is called Report.w6.
Open folder Report by clicking
Extras in the main menu followed
by Open folder
Report. However, there is no guarantee that the project is
not corrupted. It is therefore essential to check the project. See
also Sending
a crash report.
Should you fail to find some folders,
such as Application Data or Local Settings, these folders may not be displayed
in Windows. You can change this in the Windows Explorer options.

are not displayed.
