Backing Up and Restoring OnePager Files for Version 7.2

Auto-Save Feature

Illustrations used in this article are from OnePager Pro using data from Microsoft Project but the feature's function, controls, and manual edits apply equally to other OnePager editions that import from data sources like Microsoft Excel, Smartsheet, and Oracle Primavera P6.

In OnePager, there is a Auto-Save feature to assist you with recovering from operating system crashes, laptop battery outages, and other errors where you cannot recover your work effectively. The feature is automatically turned ON when you launch OnePager either the Add-in or Standalone application. During the operation of OnePager, the Auto-Save feature saves your chart as a .TAM file in your default chart directory. This is normally in the Documents folder under either OnePager Pro, OnePager Express or OnePager Bundle. The Auto-Save file name is in the form of _AutoSave_projectviewname.TAM. Only the last Auto-Save file saved exists in your default chart directory. An Auto-Save file is written to this folder every five (5) minutes. When you Close OnePager, under normal conditions, the Auto-Save file is deleted so as not to occupy unnecessary storage space.

You have the option to turn the Auto-Save feature OFF by unchecking the checkbox found on the OnePager File ribbon tool bar tab at the Options sub-tab. Turning the Auto-Save feature OFF causes the feature to remain OFF until the next time OnePager is launched where you turn the feature back ON as shown below:
