Depending on the settings, different triggers can cause the project database to create a backup copy in a zipped file. The zipped backup files reside in the project directory’s ProjectBackup/backups sub-directory.
For a list of settings and triggers that control when the project database creates a backup, see Changing Backup Settings.
The settings for the backups are in the ProjectBackup.cfg configuration file. This configuration file resides in the $WDIR/iCDB/ProjectBackup directory. For more information on this configuration file, see ProjectBackup.cfg Configuration File.
You can place the configuration file in a centralized WDIR directory and set permissions to control what Project Backup features users and clients have access to. For more information about placing the ProjectBackup.cfg configuration file in a centralized WDIR directory, see Managing Configuration Files in Centralized WDIR Directories. For more information about the particular user and client-based permissions, see Changing Backup Settings and ProjectBackup.cfg Configuration File.
