Maximum number of automatic backups

If automatic backups exceed the maximum number specified, the oldest backups are deleted until the maximum number is reached. In both the Enterprise Edition and Team Edition, an automatic backup is made when you create a new singular support file, build a FMEA Fault Equivalence file, or restore a backup file. In the Team Edition, when the above option is selected, an automatic backup is made when you open a Team file. In the Enterprise Edition, the Automatic backup creation option does not exist. However, when you open a Team file in the Enterprise Edition, an automatic backup is made by copying the file to the Backups folder.
