Using Backups  

Citavi automatically creates backups when you close a project. The backups are saved in the following folder: Documents\Citavi 4\Backup. Each backup is an exact duplicates of the corresponding project. Backups are saved as ZIP files and their names contain the name of the project and the time the backup was saved.

Note: Backups contain only the Citavi project file. Attached files or custom citation styles are not included in Backups. For this reason we recommend regularly saving your most important files or the entire folder Documents\Citavi 4 on an external drive. Windows offers a nice feature for backups under Control Panel > System and Security > File History.
