If the system crashes (e.g. a power failure) you will lose any changes made to the design since the last File|Save unless Auto back-up is enabled. Auto back-up saves the design periodically to the specified back-up folder, commonly located in C:\Program Files\AEI Software\Irricad Pro 10\Backup – it DOES NOT save over your design files.
To recover an Auto back-up file run IRRICAD. Select File|Open and browse for the Name-of-your-design~~Backup.des file in the Irricad Pro 10\Backup folder. Remember to do this before Auto back-up runs again.
Resave the design to the original design name in the \Designs folder. Auto back-up cannot save if the back-up design is open.
Notes:
In Pro Version 10+ you can specify the back-up folder in Settings|Miscellaneous.
Back up designs are removed every 7 days or as specified in Settings|Miscellaneous.
