    Angry Revit Backup Files

    Is there a setting somewhere that you can direct all the .rvt backup files to a different folder?

    Thanks for your reply, but there is no option there to point your back ups to a different folder.

    "default path for user files"

    You cannot separate the backup folders from the location of your locals. They go together in the same folder.

    Try this Revit add-on



    I have it installed, it creates a folder called backup in the the root folder your file is saved in. It moves all the backups to that folder. I have it installed and it seems to work good.
