Project backup

FactoryTalk Optix Studio automatically creates backups of projects.

Projects are automatically backed up when:
  • You save a project
  • You update a project to a more recent version of FactoryTalk Optix Studio
  • You restore a project from backup. See Restore a project.

The default location for the backup folder is:%localappdata%\Rockwell Automation\FactoryTalk Optix\Studio\Backups\Project Name

Each of the project folders consists of other subfolders with the following types of backups:
  • Automatic. Three backups, performed when saving the project.
  • Recovery. One backup, performed when a corrupt project is opened and repair attempted. See Restore a project.
  • Upgrade. Two backups, performed when updating the project to a more recent version of FactoryTalk Optix Studio.
