I always get this files in with my production files. and I have specified under the Save Options to save them in the Temp folder, I tried to create a folder and tell it to save them there... and I still get then where ever my original file was. can some one tell me the trick to getting this to stop?
We also seem to be having autobackup problems.
Same here. We have autobackup set to three minutes and to a specific directory. Corel crashes. We restart. NO mention of any autobackup files.NO files in the chosen directory. It's set to do it and it never does. Or, it'll run correctly and make autobackups for a day or three after I have to do an F8 restart... then it stops and no autobackups are every found.
Turn the feature off and use an external USB drive to back up the system. Backing up on the same system you work on is like playing Russian Roulette with a fully loaded pistol!
Autobackup does not work if you have Background Processes turned off. To check go here
Tools>Option>Global
Here's what I've noticed- autobackup saves while you work, whether you have or have not saved the file (untitled or no). If a crash occurs that ends the program, upon reopening it will ask about opening a backup. This is not 100% reliable and seems to depend on the type of crash. The backup on save simply creates a copy when you save the file. This can be useful if you open the file again, work for a while, something goes wrong etc. the backup will still be there. The flaw with autobackup is that it does not KEEP the latest autobackup should the file/program close- saved or not. This is a peeve of mine. The purpose of autobackup should be to essentially save a file as you work, and that save should be available regardless. Especially since we all know that Corel has some stability issues and "stops working" from time to time. I have found that Win7 and now Win8.1 are better at giving applications the time to recover.
