Main window

Backup and restore

2.2 interface

Preserve the local Acouso workspace and deliberately recover an appropriate backup when needed.

On this page

Create a full backup#

  1. In the main window, open Import/Export.
  2. Under Export Package, choose a new backup location.
  3. Click Full Backup and wait for it to finish.
  4. Confirm the backup file is where you expect.

A full backup covers your whole local Acouso workspace, including project data and your material and standards libraries. To move one project, use Export instead.

Restore deliberately#

  1. Under Import Package, click Browse and choose the backup.
  2. Click Restore Backup.
  3. Read the confirmation’s project and replacement scope. Cancel if it isn’t what you meant.
  4. Confirm and wait for the restore to finish.
  5. Open the project and check materials, standards, room assignments and saved results.

Project exports go through Import, not Restore Backup. Some safety backups cover only one project; the confirmation tells you what will be replaced.

Automatic safety backups#

Acouso may create safety backups before data-changing operations, and its messages identify them. For a project milestone, keep your own dated backup as well.

Check your result#

The project and libraries are back to the state you wanted. Acouso backups don’t include the Revit model, so restore that separately if needed.
