Re: [libreoffice-users] Writer recover document

Hi :)
Ahh the back-ups are usually stored in 
UserProfile/backups
(the folder called "backups" in your user-profile).  this guide hopefully shows where the 
UserProfile is in your Operating System although 3.5.0 has added a folder just in front of 
".libreoffice" to make it ".config/.libreoffice" or something like that.

Tom :)

Hi Tom,

Thanks for your reply.

I had:

x always create backup copy
x save auto-recover-info  every 1 Min.

One can see, that LO is regularly saving by the moving bar. However this saved 
information apparently is not used for the recover process.

When after a system crash, unexpected shutdown or similar LO starts with a 
window asking whether the user wants to recover the files, I answer yes, 
recovery runs and LO claims to be successful. However the "recovered" file 
contains old information. The last information is contained in
/tmp/..../0.odt
and can manually be used to restore to the latest condition.


With respect to the developers of LO.

Walther
