[FREQ] Change when Backups happens.

Post by Full Bleed »

Many people who use MT don't realize that Autosave is really a crash-only backup file (a temp file) that gets deleted when you close MT.

And, currently, MT only makes a "Backup" of a campaign when you open a campaign file.

I would like to see the Backup of the campaign file made when you close MT, not when you open it. Or, at least, I'd like there to be an option to set either/or both as an option.

It might also be nice to:

1) Have an option to save more then 10 backups if you want as well. Storage space doesn't have the same premium it used to and more backups are better than less.

2) Change the syntax of the Autosave feature to something like "Crash Recovery File". That's a better description of what it is.


Check out a user's recent experience with Autosave/Backup here for illustration: http://forums.rptools.net/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=26228
