--- Comment #4 from Justin L <jl...@mail.com> --- (In reply to Jeff from comment #3) > chose "automatically save the document too", and create n-1 backup copies Yes, there is only one backup file. The next save replaces the backup copy. In this case, Stéphane's "n-1" probably intended to mean the "previous version" and not "the number of backups". (In 24.2, you have the option to place that backup into the same folder as the document itself.) > From what I can tell a backup file is 'only' created when you manually save > the file, and not when libreoffice autosaves. > -Installed latest Libreoffice 7.6.4 At this point it isn't terribly helpful to look at what happens in 7.6. As Buovjaga said, a lot has changed in 24.2. However, "backup file is not updated when autoRecovery runs" is still true in 24.2. That makes sense - the backup is only a copy-before-write when the document itself is changed. Chose "Automatically save the document too" if you want to update the backup file at every autosave interval. Note that this changes your actual document every time (and does NOT create an ODF recovery version in the backup/recovery folder). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
