A backup version of the default workspace is provided in zipped format in the Backup folder of the installation directory for the Geographic Calculator. This should be C:\Program Files (x86)\Blue Marble Geo\Geographic Calculator for 6- bit installations and C:\Program Files\Blue Marble Geo\Geographic Calculator for 32-bit installations, unless a custom application install path was selected during installation.

On upgrade of the application, the existing default workspace file may optionally be archived. For more information see Default Workspace
