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. See Folders are missing or are not displayed.
