How to restore a drawing from a backup file and move backup file to drive C


  1. In Windows Explorer, locate the backup file identified by the .bak file extension.
  2. Select the file you want to rename. You do not need to open it.
  3. Click File menu Rename
  4. Enter a new name using the .dwg file extension.
  5. Open the file as you would open any other drawing file.


Now for moving backup file in to your drive C if you’re working in a Server file folder and want to change the destination directory simply type the command MOVEBAK
bakfile-restore

As the image above for example I made first a folder name bakfile in my drive C after that, I go to my Autocad type the command movebak then type the C:\bakfile and enter. And if you want to get back or restore from old destination type the . (period) for none.
