About Auto Backup

Auto Backup, developed by HanaYuki, is a script for Adobe After Effects that automatically saves a backup copy whenever you save your project. By maintaining multiple backup versions, it lets you revert to a previous state if the current project file becomes corrupted or if an installed effect plug‑in behaves unpredictably. The script is compatible with After Effects versions 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025, and 2026. Version 1.1, released on 25 November 2023, includes bug fixes and performance optimizations over the initial release. Auto Backup is listed as free, though licensing details may be updated by the developer. It provides a simple safety net for users who need reliable, automatic backups during intensive workflow sessions.
