In the iris workspace folder there is the .backup folder where iris makes backups of the app. I didn't find documentation about this functionality, that is, is there a way to control these backups? how to force a backup when necessary?

Hi @Rubens Marcelo

Good question! The .backup folder in the workspace is NOT meant for developer's use (its for platform use only) and hence not documented.

For any project backup, you can use any source code control systems (Github, Bitbucket, etc.) and check in your project folder (e.g. <IRIS_WORKSPACE>/MyTestApp) within the workspace. Alternatively, you can also export the project from Iris manually and import back if needed.

Thanks! At least now I know not to trust these backups!
