The hardware problem is irrelevant. The AutoRecovery feature is there
to prevent loss of data when there is a *hardware* [??!?!!!] or

Full auto-recovery implies that somewhere all the data in a file at
the point of a crash is somehow stored somewhere whence it can be
retrieved. What and where is this somewhere, pray?

Read the bug report. AutoRecovery is broken.
http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=92968
On my system I have my preferences set to "Save AutoRecovery information
every 5 minutes". If I work on a document for an hour and my system
crashes, when I reopen OO.o it will ask me if I want recover document.
When it does so, instead of using the data saved every five minutes it
opens the last manually saved version of my document and a hour of my
work will have been lost.
Is that clear now?
Read the original rant from the user. he had this problem of his power
supply in version 2 of openoffice and when OOo 3.0 auto recovery failed
he blamed OOo auto recovery and not his power supply problem.
I agree fix OOo auto recovery. but power supply is quicker to fix and
easier then to find out how much of a problem the software is.
