    23= Autosave =
    3 
    4 The autosave feature stores the edited osm layer in regular interval so that the work can be recovered in case of a crash.
     4The autosave feature stores the osm data and [wikitr:/Help/Dialog/Notes Notes] layers with modified data in regular interval in order to recover work in case of a crash.

    66== Recover the changes ==
     7* Restarting JOSM will offer to open the auto-saved files.
     8* Backup files can be found in the JOSM preferences folder (subfolder `autosave`), where they are stored.
     9 * See [wikitr:/Help/Preferences#JOSMpreferencedatacachedirectories preferences help] page on how to locate the preference folder.

    8 You simply need to restart JOSM and it will offer to open the recovered files.
    911
    10 You can also find the backup files in the JOSM preferences folder (subfolder {{{autosave}}}), where JOSM stores them.
     12== Prompt after JOSM start ==
     13On startup, user will be asked to restore or discard latest snapshot from autosave.
     14* If **''discard''** is chosen, there is **no chance to recover** work again.

    1419== Q&A ==
     20How does it know that JOSM crashed?
     21* It keeps backups which are deleted, whenever a data layer is closed gracefully.
     22 * If backup files are found on start up, JOSM will assume that it crashed.
    1523
    16  * How often does it save?
    1724
    18   Depends on your settings, default is every 5 min (at time of writing).
     25== Preferences ==#Preferences
     26The preferences are described in [[JOSMImage(preferences/backup,link=,24,middle)]]  [wikitr:/Help/Preferences/BackupPreference File backup] under [[JOSMImage(preference)]] [wikitr:/Help/Action/Preferences Preferences]
    1927
    20  * How does it know that JOSM crashed?
    21 
    22   It keeps backups that are deleted, whenever a data layer is closed gracefully. If backup files are found on start, JOSM will assume that it crashed.
    23 
    24 == Preferences ==
    25 
    26 Go to **''[[Image(source:trunk/images/preference.png,20)]] Preferences -> [[Image(source:trunk/images/preferences/map.png,20)]] [Preferences/Map map projection & data interpretation] -> tab "File backup"''**

    28 [[Image(AutoSavePrefDialog.png)]]
    29 
    30 There you have these options:
    31  * disable autosave altogether
    32   * set a custom value for the time interval in seconds (default is 300).
    33   * set a custom value for the number of backup files per data layer (default is 1). If you increase it to 2, JOSM will not only save the last snapshot of your changes, but also the last but one (in case it differs from the last, otherwise an even older snapshot, if available).
    34 
    35  * keep backup files when saving data layer
    36    JOSM can keep a backup file when saving data layers. A "{{{~}}}" is appended to the file name and it is saved in the same folder.
