4. Perform manual backups outside of Revit’s automatic backup system.
5. Configure the number of backup files to keep within the file settings.
6. Set the maximum number of backups allowed under the “Save As” options.
7. Ensure your hard disk has at least 5GB of free space available.
8. Regularly clear the contents of your Windows temporary folders.
