MOVEBAK is not working in AutoCAD MEP 2025

The MOVEBAK command does not keep the new path.

 

"Example:

Command: MOVEBAK

Initializing...

MOVEBAK command loaded.New value for MOVEBAK, or . for none <C:\AutoCAD MEP\BAK>: C:\BAK

Command:"

 

So now the backup location has been changed to C:\BAK. The issue is this. Once you close AutoCAD and reopen, AutoCAD loses the path in that it stops moving the *.bak files to where you told it to save. So when you type MOVEBAK again, it looks like this.

 

"Example:

Command: MOVEBAK

Initializing...

MOVEBAK command loaded.New value for MOVEBAK, or . for none <C:\BAK>: "

 

So it still shows your new location, but it is not saving it there anymore. So you need to do this every time you open AutoCAD.

 

"Example:

Command: MOVEBAK

Initializing...

MOVEBAK command loaded.New value for MOVEBAK, or . for none <C:\BAK>: C:\BAK

Command:"

Everyone know about this: if there are no current updates for you in your accounts page to fix it, they are not out yet.

Roll back to MEP2024 if this is a dire business need in the meantime.
