Backup Files
Displays the drawings that may need to be recovered after a program or system failure.
A top-level drawing node contains a set of files associated with each drawing. If

- The automatic save file, also called the “autosave†file (SV$)

- The original drawing file (DWG, DWS)
Once a drawing or backup file is opened and saved, the corresponding top-level drawing
node is removed from the Backup Files area.
