## Backup Tab Options

You can have Understand for Ada automatically create backup source files by checking the Create backup file when saving box in the Backup tab of the Options->Preferences dialog. By default this option is off and no backup files are created.

If you enable backup file creation, you can also set these options:

- Only on first save after open - Check (the default) this box if you want the backup file created only the first time you save the file during an Understand for Ada session. If you remove this checkmark, the latest backup file will be overwritten each time you save the file in Understand for Ada.
- Filename - Specify the file naming convention you want to use for the backup file. The default naming convention is $CurFileName.$CurFileExt.bak.
- Save location - You can choose to save the backup files in the same directory location as the source file or in a separate directory you specify.

Backup files are saved as simple text files. No formatting or information about changes made is saved with the file.
