The hardware problem is irrelevant. The AutoRecovery feature is
there to prevent loss of data when there is a *hardware*

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 did. He had a power failure. He lost data because AutoRecovery in
OO.o 3 is broken.
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.
The problem in OO.o 3.0 was caused by a regression. It has been
located and fixed and will be in the next release. We should all be
thankful that this problem has been reported so we can remember to
manually save very frequently since we now know that AutoRecovery
does not work.
Now why don't you quit sounding like the defence lawyer for a rapist
who is constantly trying to blame the victim.

Which is quicker - to fix a local problem with power to your pc or to
fix OOo? That is my point - speed of response.
If you had read his posts you would have seen that he has been unable to
find a solution for the problem with his computer.
