General Settings: Recovery

This option opens the screen that allows one to setup the project's auto-save facility, which will periodically save the entire schedule into a separate file that can be recovered in the event of a system crash. Tick the "Save AutoRecover info every:" checkbox in order to enable it.

Once applied DTS will create a copy of the project at intervals specified.

Upon re-launching DTS (for example, after an unexpected process termination, power failure or system crash) , the Auto Recovery screen will launch if recovery files were found on the system, for example:
