Autosave

Hi All,

I have had the autosave Value box checked for a month now and have '10' in autosave_time as well as the name 'backup' in the autosave_name but I cannot locate a backup file on my hard drive. Anyone have any clues to why there have been no backup files created?

    Hi,

    You can also set the number of autosave boards to keep.

    Go to setup, user preferences, file_management and set ads_autosaverevs. If you set it to 5 and you have set the autosave time to 10 minutes it will be possible to go back 50 minutes in time.
