What is the possibility for adding an Autobak feature to the OpenOffice platform? The feature would simply create automatic back-ups of files in a designated folder with a generic naming scheme. This would prove helpful for individuals that get caught up in their work and forget the golden rule "Always Save", and have the unfortunate pleasure of their computer turning off (Automatic updates, loss of power).

There is already a Backup folder defined under the Preferences of OpenOffice.org and you can activate the auto-save feature. This might become annoying but secure since you will be prompted to save your new document even when you are editing it.

I know there is a restore feature with Open Office which has worked for me in the past, however my father recently found out restoring does not always work.

Yes saving is always the best aproach please activate your auto-save feature under the Preferences Options.

I hope this would be a good addition to an already wonderful office suite.
