Project Backup
Animation Master new global backup option found under tools->Options->Backup. The backup is saved in a folder with a directory structure containing all of the files used in the project. The folder contains subdirectories based on disks->folders->files, similar to the consolidate project function. If the "Use Global backup directory" option is ticked then the backups are created in the specified location, otherwise they are created in the
project folder.- Intervall sets the number of minutes between each backup.
- Count sets the number of backups saved. Once the number is reached, the oldest backup is deleted each time a new backup is created. The backup creates a duplicate of all files in the project. This means that projects containing large video, image sequence or audio files will quickly fill up your hard drive.
- Intervall sets the number of minutes between each backup.
tools -> option -> backup page
- backup project files enables the backup global (not longer per project)
- Use global backup directory if enabled , the backup is saved in the selected directory
the backup directory for the project has the following naming convention "Projectname_PathHash_Timestamp" The PathHash part is needed, because You can have as example D:\test\Project1.prj and E:\test1\Project1.prj, in such a case the backups
will overwrite the false one , if counts is reached. if disabled , the backup is saved in the project directory , where the backup directory has the following naming convention
"Projectname_Timestamp"
- Intervall time between the backups
- Count (need a better name ...) how much backups for each project are created , before the oldest one is overwritten
The backup function works like "Consolidate", means also all external linked
objects als backuped up. Backup run's only , if the project is named (means project was saved a first time) anything in the project is modified and not rendering or any baking action is running at the time where the backup should start.
