Can TimeMachine be configured to do incremental back-ups every time I open a

You can modify Time Machine's schedule to be a lot faster than what it usually

Did you not have a copy of the file also? This is usually the case
with Finale. Also, I always do a save as, every time I close a file
after working on it.
That way, I will always have a file that is very recent to revert to
if I lose the present one. I may not help your present
Yes, I do have a copy saved as. I said that on my post. It gives the same
error. All three files give the same error: the main file, the .asv copy and
the saved as copy. It seems as if although the file was still open, it was
already corrupted when both copies were made.

Sounds like the files are okay (?).
Reboot, reinstall Finale, download the upgrades. Reboot.
Is you OS up to date? Which version are you running?
Try again. You could also try exporting as MusicXML as a further backup
measure?

Yes, and I am aware of that, but what I don't understand is why three backups

Hi Harold,
The file corruption occurred while the document was open, at least 20 minutes
before you had to Force Quit. File corruption is invisible -- there is no way
to tell it has happened until you try to open files that have been saved after
the corruption has occurred. You can continue to
In other words, it's a Finale error, not an OS error. Something went wrong
while working with your document in Finale, and after that point, everything
you saved, by whatever method (autosave, auto-backup, manual save, Save As,
etc) was corrupt.
