Backing Up Project Data

In just a few clicks, UDA ProjectBackup will create storage files for all of your valuable ConstructionSuite data. Once the backup file is created, you should move it to an electronic storage device (such as  CD, DVD, or USB device) to ensure that your files are fully protected.

Backup files

1. Create a folder on your computer in which to store backup files. (Right-click in the area you would like to create a new folder and go to New > Folder. Name the folder and press the Enter key on your keyboard.) This is the folder you will browse to later.  

2. If you have not already done so, open Project Backup by clicking Data > Backup > ProjectBackup on the main ConstructionSuite interface.  Project Backup will open. 

3. Click on the Backup tab.

4. Click the Browse button. The Browse for Folder window appears.

5. Use the expandable/collapsible folder tree to locate the folder you created in Step 1.

6. Select the folder and click OK.

7. Click the Backup button at the bottom of the screen to manually run a backup.

8. Once the backup is complete, transfer the folder that contains the backup files to a safe location such as a CD, DVD, USB device, or other removable storage.
