• If a Data Recovery snapshot is not found for a file that was open when Illustrator crashed (indicates no unsaved
information), the file is opened afresh and is available for editing.
• If no usable Data Recovery information is found for a file that was open when Illustrator crashed, the file is opened
in its last saved state, and is available for editing.
Configurable preferences
The preferences for the Data Recovery feature are available in the Preferences panel (Preferences > File Handling &
Clipboard > Data Recovery area).
• Automatically Save Recovery Data Every. Select the checkbox to turn the Data Recovery feature on.
• Interval. Select an appropriate duration from the Interval dropdown. Illustrator will save a backup at this frequency
in minutes.
• Folder / Choose: Displays and allows you to configure the location at which Illustrator stores backup files.
• Turn off Data Recovery for complex documents. Select the checkbox to prevent the Data Recovery feature from
slowing down while backing up complex files.
Important considerations
Turn off Data Recovery for complex documents (Preferences, Default: Off) When Data Recovery is turned on,
Illustrator may seem to pause while backing up larger files that contain byte-heavy raster images or need a considerable
time to backup. If this interrupts your workflow, you can choose to turn this setting on.
