4.2.12. Creating automatic backups

ELAN allows you to create automatic backup copies. To create backups, do the following:

  1. Click on File menu.

  2. Go to Automatic backup.

  3. Click on the time interval after which ELAN should create the backup, e.g., after every 20 Minutes.

Figure 4.18. Automatic backup


A checkmark appears next to the selected time interval. From now on ELAN will automatically create a backup copy into the same directory as where the original file can be found. It will be saved with the extension *.eaf.001. Before opening such a file, rename its extension to .eaf instead of *.eaf.001.

[Note]Note

Automatic backups can only be made after a file has been saved! If you did not save your file before, a warning window will be shown when the backup should be made for the first time, urging you to save the file first.
