 +===== Automatic backup creation =====
 +==== Scheduled low-level backup ====
 +
 +These backups are created automatically at regular intervals. These are emergency files, in case of critical data lost you can use these files to restore last project setup state - with the help of the support team.
 +
 +During rapid development sometimes you may create critical big changes in your project which you don't want to lose at no any condition. Another reason - in some firmware revisions a bug was noticed which lead to corrupted backup file creation at certain condition. 
 +Automatic backup creation helps to avoid your valuable backups loose.

 +==== Backing up on Level2 ====
 +
 +An up-to-date backup is always at your fingertips.  As soon as a new backup is created in the WebHMI project, it is automatically uploaded to the cloud and stored until a more recent version is available.
 +When this service is disabled, the current backup is deleted from the server.
