Performing a Quick Backup

Saves rapidly the currently displayed model in a file called autosave in the current directory of your hard disk.

\backup

This command works faster than the Saving a file (\save) command, but it stores the file in a format that requires a larger amount of disk space. Use it during the course of an ARC+ session to back up your work on disk. In case of a power failure or other problem, you can restore the model by opening the autosave file.
