Recover TruClient scripts

This topic describes how to use the script recovery mechanism to save or recover TruClient script files automatically.

About automatic script recovery

Automatic script recovery is available for TruClient scripts. Automatic recovery enables you to recover script files automatically in the event of a corrupt file. When automatic recovery is enabled, script files are saved periodically in the background. You can recover script files from the last successfully loaded script or from a script that was automatically saved.

If you enable the automatic backup option, you can set how frequently script files are saved. For example, if you set the backup interval to every 3 minutes, you will recover more information than if you had set it to save every 10-15 minutes.
