    <description>&lt;P&gt;Allow the folder for central file backups to be placed somewhere other than the location of the central file. Allow either a Relative or Absolute location.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Currently, if the&amp;nbsp;Central Files (e.g., proj1arch1.rvt , proj1struc1.rvt, proj1mech1.rvt, proj1elec1.rvt) are located in folder "G:\projectname1" then the central file backup folders clutter that folder with these folders:&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;"G:\projectname1\proj1arch1_backup"&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;"G:\projectname1\proj1struc1_backup"&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;"G:\projectname1\proj1mech1_backup"&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;"G:\projectname1\proj1elec1_backup"&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;If a backup folder relative to the central file&amp;nbsp;&lt;SPAN style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;could be selected, such as ".\zzzbackups", then the central file backups could be consolidated into:&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;"G:\projectname1\zzzbackups\proj1arch1_backup"&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;"G:\projectname1\zzzbackups\proj1struc1_backup"&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;"G:\projectname1\zzzbackups\proj1mech1_backup"&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;"G:\projectname1\zzzbackups\proj1elec1_backup"&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;If an absolute backup folder could be selected, such as "G:\!revitbackups", then the central file backups could be consolidated into:&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;"G:\!revitbackups\proj1arch1_backup"&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;"G:\!revitbackups\proj1struc1_backup"&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;"G:\!revitbackups\proj1mech1_backup"&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;"G:\!revitbackups\proj1elec1_backup"&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;This would help keep our project folders less cluttered.&lt;/P&gt;

      <description>&lt;P&gt;And, &lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;EM&gt;PLEASE&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;, rename it.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;It's not really a "backup" folder. It's a &lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;EM&gt;permissions&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt; folder.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I often find people in out office copying an .rvt file into the "_backup" folder thinking that's where they should keep their archive copies. They've been told that's not what it's for and that the "_backup" folder can and does get deleted occasionally, but - because that's what it's named - they figure that's where their backups (archives) should go.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Suggestion and prior comment are exactly correct.&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;Revit sprays out backups like a puppy that is not potty-trained.&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>
