The question should be asked "When does OpenOffice erase the previous copy of the
file?". Surely this should only be after the Save process reaches a conclusion. I
can recollect from my CP/M days that one had to adopt a certain sequence in saving a file
for best security. One saved the file to File.new (say), then renamed File.org to
File.bak then renamed File.new to File.org. Is this or a similar protocol being followed
in OO? Perhaps some temporary relief can be obtained by changing the options in
OpenOffice to_always_ generate a backup.
What happens with the backup when you work on a writer and a calc
document e.g. test.odt and test.ods?
I have no idea if test.bak is a writer or a calc document.
What will happen if both backups are made at the same time, would they
corrupt the backup file?
Could something similar happen with auto recovery files?
