When a scheduled PLN backup is due, you will notice that a Save icon appears in the Send
and Receive button of the Teamwork Palette. In order for you to receive such a notification
the Role you are using must allow you to create PLN Backups, as shown in another feature clip,
you must be online and you must connect to the BIM Server through Local Area Network.
This last requirement is to make sure people located far from the BIM Server don't have
to upload very large backup files.
Click the Send and Receive button. A Message Box appears informing you that a PLN Backup
needs to be created. You may click the Skip creating backup button in which case no PLN
Backup will be created after Sending and Receiving changes and the Save icon will remain in the
Send and Receive button to indicate that the backup still needs to be created by someone
eligible.
If you click the Continue button, the Send and Receive operation is performed, then the
PLN Backup file is saved, and then uploaded to the BIM Server by ArchiCAD. You will see
a notification box while the file is being saved, and you will see a process indicator
on the Status Bar while it is being uploaded to the BIM Server. After it is finished the
PLN Backup will be stored and available among the backups on the BIM Server.
