Backups

Mapping Tools stores beatmap backups in its configured backups folder. Open the folder with About > Open backups folder or change its location in Preferences.

When live editor state reading is configured, backups can include the latest unsaved state from the editor. Otherwise, Mapping Tools backs up the beatmap file it can access on disk.

Automatic backups​

When enabled, Mapping Tools creates a backup before a tool changes a beatmap. This gives you a restore point if you want to undo the tool run. You can set the backup folder and retention limit in Preferences. When the limit is reached, the oldest backups are removed.

Periodic backups​

When enabled, Mapping Tools periodically backs up the current beatmap while it can read live editor state. It skips a backup when the beatmap has not changed since the previous one. Periodic backups contain PB in their filenames.

Manual backups​

Use the File menu to create a backup of the selected beatmap or load a backup into it. Manual backups contain UB in their filenames. QuickUndo restores the newest non-periodic backup to the beatmap currently open in osu!.
