Hello,
I forgot to answer the question about the automated backup. Here is a
general blurb about backups.
There are two types of backup. One backup happens when you do a save, so
it copies an existing *.xml file to *.xml.bak. To use those you just have
to rename the *.xml.bak as *.xml. Right now I'm not sure if all the
*.xml.bak taken together are guaranteed to be in a consistent state (i.e.
if you copy them all over then it will work). The main point of these
*.bak files is in case your disk is nearly full and writing out a new
*.xml file is not completed. So generally you probably wouldn't use these
backups.
The other backup (and I think the one the question was about) is one you
can generate automatically (or on demand) via the Project --> Backup
dialog. The default here is that if your project is called Xyz then the
backup directory is Xyz_backup. When you open up a project you can just
use that directory rather than Xyz, i.e. instead of
analysis Xyz
you could do:
analysis Xyz_backup
This will warn you that some paths have changed. Instead of doing it this
way I'd generally recommend that instead you rename Xyz_backup to Xyz
(after backing up Xyz by hand just in case!).
(You can also open up the backup via the Open Project dialog. You would
see the backup project row in the dialog coloured yellow instead of green,
but only because the project file is called Xyz.xml instead of
Xyz_backup.xml, which analysis can cope with perfectly well, but it's
warning you that this is not a standard naming.)
