I use a backup program to automatically backup my document folder

that although I set the "auto save recovery information every 5

spreadsheet, when I check the timestamp of the file, it is still
half an hour ago though I did lots edit on it already in the last half an hour.
I am using OO 3.1.0 in debian sid.
This is the setting at Tools | Options... | Load/Save | General |
Save | Save AutoRecovery information every XX Minutes. But this
doesn't, I think, save your document at all: the document file has
not been changed and it is appropriate, therefore, that the time
stamp his not changed either. Indeed, until you save your document
manually you can still chose to abandon your edits without saving -
so the document file needs not to have been changed.
The help text says that the setting "saves the information needed to
restore all open documents in case of a crash". So it saves
information elsewhere that can recover the document at the state it
was as you were editing it, partly from the unchanged document file
and partly from the separately saved recovery information. This
information is saved elsewhere than in your documents - in more than
one place your user profile, it seems. You will need to back up the
appropriate folders there too if you wish to save this recovery information.
I trust this helps.
