BackUp Files

Maybe I'm missing something but is there a way to set the backup files to go into a subfolder within the project folder like you can with peak and audio files?

When you save project:

Result:

You name project 1 so project and media will be in folder 1.

or...

Result: you import or save project name 2, project will be in folder named 2 and media will be in media folder. Experiment.

Secondary path is I think exclusively for per track recording. Right click Record arm button on track panel and go to track recording settings. Down there you can set primary or secondary path for this track recordings.

I always thought this should be more clear.

edit:
I am sorry. You meant a projects. These settings guys already show should work.

Hmm ok. So this was some misunderstanding on my part. Something needs to change in the project for it to save that way. I sat there looking at it for 10 minutes lol. The way I have it set up is like this. So everytime i hit save there was a back up made.

Is there a way to do that and have it still go into its own directory?

Yes, it works for me! This is what I get in my Project Folder when it's set up like that, is this what you're after??

Yes, I'm after that manually. Meaning once I hit save, the time stamp file goes into the subfolder (like you have) instead of the directory
