RR 22.10.00-1.1 Auto-Recovery Enhancements
The auto-recovery process in STAAD.Pro has been further enhanced to protect your files from unexpected application failures.
These enhancements include the following:
STAAD Backup File
During opening and saving of the STAAD file, a file with model name and extension .SBK (i.e., <modelname>.sbk) will be created in the model folder. This file is a duplicate the STAAD input file.
To recover the STAAD input file, simply rename the file replacing the .SBK extension with .STD.
Auto-Recovery Backups Directory
In addition to the creation of auto-recovery file (i.e. <modelname>_autorecovery.zip) in the model folder, a copy of the same will be preserved under:
- %localappdata%\Bentley\Engineering\STAAD.Pro CONNECT Edition\AutoRecovery Backups\<modelname>-<unique id>
Since the auto-recovery file gets removed when saving or closing the model, this ensures the preservation of last changes made in the event of an unexpected application failure.
In case of any failures in which the STAAD input file and its ancillary files gets corrupted, you can retrieve the auto-recovery backups from the above-mentioned location.
