Ok. How about autosave *and *recovery.
Microsoft Word creates a temporary file that is purged from the system (if no errors are reported) when the application closes. If a fault occurs, the temp file can be used to recover the document at the last autosave checkpoint. Substitute document for workflow. Taverna would autosave the workflow say every 30 minutes, as a temporary file. If the workbench crashes, this could be used to recover the workflow. If I closed the workbench, the temp file could then be deleted. regards, Paul.
