AuditSoft creates automatic backups (AutoSave) of your most recent working audit file(s) at approximately 20 min intervals after you start the application. The last 50 session backups are stored in a hidden folder on your computer.

To recover a file (see images below):

  1. Open AuditSoft and select Local Backups

  2. From the local backup list select a file and then click Restore

  3. Save the file to the file system.

The backup file naming system is in the format:

YYYYMMDDhhmmss-[Company name]_.bak

for example:

20220414190909-Acme Industries Inc_.bak

is a backup saved on:

2022-04-14 at 5:09:09 PM for the license Acme Industries Inc

Note:

Locally stored backups do not guard against hardware failure or theft of a laptop - please ensure that you review AuditSoft Cloud Backup as part of your business continuity planning and disaster recovery process.
