How does the recovery of Microsoft Word files work if they have been saved by the auto-save feature instead of by a normal Save?
Principally Live File Backup backups the files when these are saved to hard disk by the corresponding program. The auto-save feature of most programs works exactly that way by saving automatically after a predefined time. Microsoft Word proceeds differently; the auto-saved files are stored to a separate directory which can be defined as you like (see Word preferences). For a future recovery of these auto-saved files this directory has to be included in the list of monitored directories too. By default the auto-saved Word files are of the file type “.asd” and are stored in the directory “C:\Documents and Settings\User\Application Data\Microsoft\Word”.
