- I didn't really want to revert to the last saved version of my
- document; I wanted to revert to the last auto-saved version of my document.
- So I've lost a couple hours work I did last night.
-
- But... system backups run nightly, and I have auto-save set to every 5
- minutes in my preferences file. I can't find a .auto file in the
- backups though.
-
- I edited a file as a test about 30 minutes ago, and there is no .auto
- file in the cwd, or in /tmp. Is it someplace else.
-
- Or are last night's edits really gone for good?
-
