--- Comment #12 from Luke Kendall <[email protected]> ---
Just installed LO 5.1.1.2, along with a bunch of other updates for Ubuntu
16.04LTS (development).
I was re-opening 8 recent documents I'd been working on, and on about the 6th
LO just crashed.
But for the first time in about a year, when it restarted, it did in fact
recover each of the documents (green tick and all), and proceeded normally.
And I see a file appear in ~/.config/libreoffice/4/user/backup/ 10 mins after I
modified a document, and disappear from there after saving, as expected.

But after that 1st save, although I make changes and more than 10 mins pass
without me saving again, and I see the auto-save kick in and the save-progress
bar, no files appear in the backup area again.

This behaviour is completely consistent for me, has been for many versions, and
seems to be a significant problem.  Does that mean that some people are not
able to reproduce this behaviour?

Is there some logging I could turn on, to learn more about what's going on when
kit appears to take a backup copy, but doesn't?

Because the directory modification time seems to change at 10 min intervals,
matching the auto-save times, my guess is that the file is saved and then
immediately removed afterwards:

$ ls -la ~/.config/libreoffice/4/user/backup/
total 8
drwxrwx--x  2 luke kendall 4096 Mar 16 16:20 .
drwxrwx--x 15 luke kendall 4096 Mar 16 16:20 ..
$ ls -la ~/.config/libreoffice/4/user/backup/
total 8
drwxrwx--x  2 luke kendall 4096 Mar 16 16:30 .
drwxrwx--x 15 luke kendall 4096 Mar 16 16:30 ..
$ ls -la ~/.config/libreoffice/4/user/backup/
total 8
drwxrwx--x  2 luke kendall 4096 Mar 16 16:41 .
drwxrwx--x 15 luke kendall 4096 Mar 16 16:41 ..

HTH.
