No folder on computer with archicad backup files/autosaves

Hi! I followed the manual on accessing the archicad/graphisoft autosaves from today - but it always ends at folder application support. In that application support folder, there suppose to be Grpahisoft folder but it is not. I tried also to look for different graphisoft folders with no luck.  

 

Any advice?

The Backup file is always in the same folder where you saved the PLN file (if you checked to save backups in the Work Environment dialog).

About Autosave files: Check the Data Safety and Integrity page of the Work Environment dialog. You can see the location of the Autosave folder there.
