The following table describes the single option that appears under Backup in the Options window.

Option	Description

Manual backups are not included in this count. 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 Automatic backup creation is selected in the Options window in the desktop application, an automatic backup is made when you open a Team file. In the Enterprise Edition, the Automatic backup creation option does not exist.
