For all projects the autosave function is enabled by default during project creation. Backups of the project are automatically generated at a specified interval (default: 10 minutes). The automatically created backups are indicated on the list of all snapshots by showing 'system' (3) in the User column.
 |
For Project Snapshots you can change these intervals using the Snapshot Configuration button (1), also refer to The Snapshot Configuration Dialog (2) for more details.
Note
When a user enters a project, the current in-memory project is compared with the most recent backup file in the snapshot directory. If there is a difference, an error message appears saying that the project data might be outdated or corrupt. A difference might occur for instance if the project data has been programmatically modified via API without a final call of the Web Service Method: Create Project Snapshot.
All backups (snapshots) are saved to the snapshots directory under <PoolParty-Data>/snapshotRoot. This snapshot directory should be included in the backup strategy for a PoolParty server . If there is a possibility of data loss or corruption you can always restore projects from a snapshot .
Caution
Be aware that restoring a snapshot will overwrite your current data with the saved backup.
