Settings — Runtime Options
The Runtime Options group is used to change settings in the project being executed in the Runtime.
Project Backups
Backup the Runtime project prior to replacement: This property enables the Runtime project to be backed up before it is overwritten. The backup location is displayed in the Event Log. This option is enabled by default.
Note: The Runtime project is overwritten if either New or Open is selected while connected to the Runtime. In addition, connecting to the Runtime while working offline with a project may result in Runtime project replacement.

In addition, connecting to the Runtime while working offline with a project may result in Runtime project replacement.Keep the most recent: This property limits the number of backup files to be saved to disk. The range is 1 to 1000. The default is 10.
Clean up now...: This property invokes a confirmation dialog that allows users to delete all the Runtime project backups. Doing so does not affect the current running project.
Tip: It is a best practice to save a copy of the project file on a regular basis for disaster recovery purposes. The default directories for these backups are: C:\ProgramData\Kepware\KEPServerEX\V6
C:\ProgramData\PTC\ThingWorx Kepware Server\V6
C:\ProgramData\Kepware Server
C:\ProgramData\<vendor>\<product>\<version>
Tip: If the file has been saved to an alternate location, search for *.opflpf, *.sopfslpf, or *.json to locate available project files.OPC Connection Security
Use DCOM configuration settings: Enable to use authentication and security from the DCOM Configuration.
Configure... Click to launch the DCOM Configuration Utility to specify the level of security and restrict access for certain users and/or applications.
When this setting is disabled, the server overrides the DCOM settings set for the application and does not perform any authentication on the calls received from client applications. It impersonates the security of the client when performing any actions on behalf of the client application. Disabling this setting provides the lowest level of security and is not recommended. If this setting is chosen, ensure that the client and server applications are running in a secure environment so that the application is not compromised.
