In this Adobe Captivate video tutorial, I share my best practice with backing up my Adobe Captivate projects as I work on them. I also reveal a hidden feature that might just save you hundreds of hours of lost work and many tears.

Why are the backup files 7x or more larger than the original, and thus sucking up all my hard drive space? (See SS)

The backup file is the previous version of you project. You may have deleted some content from your library just before your most recent save and that content is still in the backup. It should reduce on subsequent saves.
I got a strange error message when saving a file. The only way I could get rid of the error was to uninstall/reinstall Captivate. Although the file was saved, it also got corrupted and won’t open. Now I have to rebuild my project!
I’m sorry to hear that Alexa. We’ve all been there. I’ve lost days and weeks of work early in my career. Now I’m the poster child for having a solid backup plan.
I learned a good lesson with this experience, Paul!
Thank you!
You’re welcome.
