Storyline 360 Backup Folders and Files

Jun 05, 2020

Thanks in advance.  Like most of us, I'm working from home away from the safety of the "network backup" in the office. Which folders and files do I need to back up to be sure I can restore a complete project if my hard drive fails and I need to immediately jump to a new machine while IT does its magic. 

Best.

Hi Joseph,

Storyline files should always be saved locally and then backed up to a shared server or network drive once you've closed the file. Typically the default location is within your C drive and a folder labeled My Articulate Projects

Storyline also creates a backup or temporary site of files in the event of an autorecovery situation. Those files are stored in this folder: %Appdata%\Articulate\Storyline 

They will also be labeled as *.tmp files, but you can change the file extension to *.story and open it within Storyline. 

If you need any other help, please let us know!
