File Save Options Setting a default

[hans409]

In revit 2013

How do I control the Control File Save Options Settings globally.  For example I want all files to save only one back-up file.

yes , 

open the template file and make the setiings for number of backups in Save as....

If you use a Revit Template it is possible that the template file to be write protected , so make your own copy of the file...

When making a new file , use this template...
