TerraTech will automatically create a backup Game Save every 10 minutes. It will create a maximum of 3 back up files with the following name: Autosave.sav.bak_1. It’s found within the save folder:

C:\Users\[USER]\Documents\My Games\TerraTech\[STEAM ID]\Saves\[PROFILE]

This feature is present in single player and multiplayer Campaign modes. In order to load your backup Game Save you will need to rename the save and remove the .bak file extension to turn it into a manual save.
