Maybe there aren't any. Do you have Tools -> Preferences... -> Look
and feel -> User interface -> Backup documents turned on?
Yes, and I recall that files with little tildes at the end (backups,
presumably) appeared in the same directory as the file was located when
I was using LyX 1.5.1. There would almost always be a file with the same
name and an added tilde each place I had a LyX document.
That's what I get ... sometimes ... (I have timed backups deselected,
but apparently there are untimed backups triggered by alignment of the
planets or something). There are also #filename# copies that get dumped
under certain circumstances (less than graceful exit from LyX?), again
in the source directory.
So you're saying you have timed backups set and, even with a valid
backup path and having the document open past the time limit, you're not
getting a backup file?
