   NOTE: For Project 98, the default location for Backup.mpt is C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office. For Project 4.1, the default location is c:\Microsoft Office\Winproj. For Project 4.0, the default location is c:\Winproj.
3. In the Organizer dialog box, click to select the view that you want to copy on the side that reads "Backup.mpt." Click Copy.
