Accidental Overwrite Protection - Confirm overwrite of "****"? Also auto check hard drive space for recovery and saving
Hi Guys, if possible, could you please implement accidental overwrite protection?

It's rare but it happens, you're working late and in a rush but you need to quickly need to save a file. You may have scrolled in a list of your projects looking to overwrite a similar project file or save new but you may have accidentally clicked on another project with an entirely unique name and then have over written it.

Project employees can loose their jobs over such mistakes, companies loose a week or more of time having to rebuild etc.

Another problem that I have mentioned in the past is the need for file saving or crash restore file to first check if you have enough free disk space otherwise the file isn't created at all or is created as kilobytes in size as an empty project.

One option for saving accidentally is that it creates a new project file of your current project combined with the project you may have accidentally overwritten so at least later you can confirm and manually finalize the name change outside iClone & CC4.

Another option if what you provide the option in Project settings whether or not to tell windows to create a restore point or you provide a cloud service that is connected with the Hub that creates a blueprint/time stamp of all your existing files, locations and settings and later selectively restore time stamps of a particular file/save and simply downloads all the contents iClone if your current install is missing anything.
