Hello Guys,
My system crashed and I lost 4 hour of coding, how to setup auto-save in
Mathematica.
thanks in advance,
Eric

Why aren't you saving regularly as you are coding? I will rarely go
15 minutes without saving my work...

I will tell you, then tell you not to use it.

Preferences -> Advanced --> Open Option Inspector --> Notebook
options ---> NotebookAutoSave
Preferences -> Advanced --> Open Option Inspector --> Search for
"Save" It is the first one.

Dont use it. In my experience, Mathematica has very poor "Undo"
ability. Every now and then I will inadvertently delete a big chunk
of important stuff and find I am not able to Undo it back (because I
waited 30 seconds and typed a few characters before realizing it, or
something) In that situation, the only escape is that I have NOT
autosaved, and I can revert.
If you don't reflexively save (4 hrs!? Really?) start training
yourself to do so - IMHO there is no substitute.

I prefer to click on Window and then Show Toolbar....I add this to every
saved Notebook...the Toolbar has a 'Save' icon...so , every so often I
can just put my cursor up there, click and the Notebook is saved....plus
it's easy to add the type of line I want next in the Notebook...i.e.
SubSection or Text, etc....
