To Back Up a File
To make a backup copy of an object file that is in memory:
1. Click File > Save As > Save a Backup. The Backup dialog box opens. The directory in the Look In box defaults to one of the following:
◦ My Documents (Windows platforms only) if you have not set a working directory or previously saved an object to another directory in your current Creo Parametric session.
◦ The Working Directory you set for your current session.
◦ The directory you last accessed to open, save, save a copy, or back up your file.
2. Accept the default directory or browse to a new directory for which you have write access.

| • Versions of the backed up object are reset in the backup directory. • If you back up an assembly, drawing, or manufacturing object, Creo Parametric saves all dependent files in the specified directory. • If an assembly has related interchange groups, those groups are not saved in the backup directory when you back up the assembly. • If you make changes to a model after backing it up and then save the model, the changes are always saved in the backup directory. |
