------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thu Jun 22 06:49:49 -0700 2006 ------- I use the autosave options: - Save autorecovery information every 10 minutes. - Always create backup copy (I use this because I was burnt several times!) Here are three features associated with the automatic save feature. Perhaps these are inter-related: 1) Sometimes the restore after a crash is more up-to-date than the latest backup. This seems normal. 2) Sometimes the restore after a crash is less up-to-date than the latest backup. I don't understand how this can possibly happen. I immediately open the backup before it can be overwritten by the next scheduled autosave. 3) Today, the restore was about three hours old. This is despite the fact that I could see the save progress bar every 10 minutes. When I went to the Backup directory, the latest backup was from yesterday. I can live with the first two of these situations. The third is very annoying. I believe that the third situation must be due to the fact that the backup file was incorrectly deleted during the crash. If this is the case, I suggest that the backup file should only ever be overwritten by another backup. It should never be deleted, not even just before shutdown. This means that on the next startup, a backup file aleady exists from the previous session. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
