Otherwise, we would not need to do anything with them. Similarly, if we initially create the back up files to keep a progress record of our analysis, then, we would only be installing them if we wish to return to the earlier ‘versions’ of our analysis. We would only be using them if the computer technically fails, is stolen, or faced with any other similar risks. I would say if we initially create them as a precaution against unwanted risks, then if no such risks take place, there would not be any need to use them. What do I do with the backup files? It very much depends on the purpose which we create them in the first place.

My recommendation, however, is that you back up your project files as frequently as necessary in order to preserve the integrity of your projects in case of computer malfunction It is impossible to suggest a specific time interval for this given that no one has the same usage pattern of the software.
#ATLAS TI WINDOWS MAC#
In the Windows and Mac versions of ATLAS.ti, it makes sense to create backups every now and then so that we can preserve the progress record of our analysis over a specified period of time. Keeping a progress record of our analysis.
#ATLAS TI WINDOWS ANDROID#
Additionally, when we have projects created using the iPad and Android ATLAS.ti Mobile applications, it is required that the projects be transferred to the software desktop versions for analysis. In ATLAS.ti Mac, the project has to be exported, and then imported in the second computer. That is the same procedure used to back up the project.

In ATLAS.ti Windows, moving a project between computers requires a Copy Bundle.
