All backup operations (such as copying, purging, and so on) occur when you save changes to a model. If necessary, you can use backup files to roll back the latest changes to a model, restoring it to a previously saved state.
About Backup Files for Network Saves
Suppose you work on a project whose file is stored in a network location.
About Journal Files
Journal files capture the actions taken by the software during a session of Revit, from the time the software starts to the time it stops. These text files can be used to troubleshoot technical problems with the software.
Specify the Number of Backup Files
