Store and access your data in ArcGIS, using flexible methods that fit your workflows. Use the cloud, common file formats, or the geodatabase (Esri's method for storing and managing geospatial data). When work needs to be recovered, unsaved changes such as maps, scenes, layouts, reports, tasks, and locators are recovered up to the time of the most recent backup. The backup project seamlessly replaces the original, and a new backup project is created and stored in your project home folder, in a folder named .backups.
