I checked and auto backup is on, but what is the file name or extension?
The same name as the real document file, but with a .bak extension.
All I can see are some 1 KB lock files ...
That's because you are looking in the document folder.
Or are they saved somewhere else?
Yes: back-up files are saved in a separate, single directory. (This
means, of course, that different files with the same name in
different folders overwrite each other's back-up files, which may not
be ideal behaviour.)
Why not put them in the same folder as the base file?
I give up: why not? ;^)
Go to Tools | Options... | OpenOffice.org | Paths to see (or modify)
where back-up files are saved. If, as seems to be the case, you are
using Windows, the default path is C:\Documents and
Settings\<login-name>\Application Data\OpenOffice.org\3\user\backup
(where <login-name> is your login name). Note that Application Data
is a hidden folder, so you will not be able to browse to it unless
you have hidden folders displayed.
I trust this helps.
