Re: [libreoffice-users] Part of File is Missing

That is why having a backup copy option and a auto save for recovery is 
needed.
I think every time you open or save the document, you might get a backup 
copy [or maybe not].  You will have to check the documentation to know 
for sure.

I have had a few system crashes, yes for both Windows and Linux, where 
the auto-save saved a lot of work from being retype in. Having a back 
copy of important files for each level of changes may be as important to 
many as it is to have a backup of all of your files [i.e. an external 
set of backup drives].
