CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X7 Why is there so many backups.

Why is there so many backups.

Why is there so many backups? This normally didn't happen before. but when I do certain things I save the file to protect against a crash. I don't have "backup on save" checked, so I don't know what the deal is.

You have some macro running that saves backups at fixed intervals or with a set number of edits or somesuch. Draw wont do that on its own or I'd be using it!!!

No it happens every time i save the file. I tested it. every time i hit the save button it it puts one of the backup versions in the folder where my normal file is located.

Hi Jeron,
Does your backup create a new file or does it overwrite the old one.
If it creates a new one, can you let me know how it happens if you find out.
Better yet, I would like to have an automatic backup every so many minutes with a new file.

The CorelDRAW backups starts as "Backup_of_(FILE NAME).cdr" and the Auto-backups are named as "Autobackup_of_(FILE NAME).cdr" Then this file was not created by CorelDRAW. It should be another program running that create such files.

Hi Ariel,
Where do I find this magic file saver.
Can it run automatically in the background.
