By related file (and I was not quite sure how to describe it), I mean a
copy of the file
that I am working on. Most of my work in Lyx is documentation for an
operating system,
MX-Linux. Two of us write/edit the user manual. There are annual major
updates, plus
bug fixing etc during the year. Therefore I use a separate folder for
each version of the
project, and find that Lyx will save a copy of the present workfile into
that folder, if I
forget to do a save myself.

Does someone know where LyX puts backups of unsaved documents?
I find Lyx copies in the folder that I am using for the related Lyx
file.
Thanks.
What is the "related LyX file" you are using? (As I mentioned, I have
not saved my document yet, so I guess my document isn't the file you
refer to.)
My guess is that the backups are stored in some temp directory but I
cannot remember which one. I am on Windows 7.
Maybe it would be nice to list that path somewhere in LyX. Maybe in
the About dialog together with the library and user directory?
