God Bless the Auto-Backup Feature

[ElGordo]

I'm not sure how this was triggered, but I absent-mindedly overwrote an
existing .one file (after working on it for several days) with an outdated
version from my laptop.

Before I began to officially go insane, I checked the My Notebook folder and
noticed a file with the prefix "(backup) Filename.one". I was able to
restore it and be on my way.

I move .one files back and forth from my laptop/desktop all the time and had
never seen this- I'm very happy it was triggered now.

Under what circumstances does this backup occur?

Yes, it's great for removing that horrible sinking feeling.

You can specify backup frequency and number by going to Tools |
Options then Backup.

Personally I let it run every 4 hours, and keep 6 copies on hard disk
(as well as backing up to CD occasionally).
