    66== Recover the changes ==
    7 
    8 You simply need to restart JOSM and it will offer to open the recovered files.
    9 
    10 You can also find the backup files in the JOSM preferences folder (subfolder {{{autosave}}}), where JOSM stores them.

    2319== 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.

    25  * How does it know that JOSM crashed?

    27   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.
     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]

    29 == Preferences ==

    31 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"''**

    34 
    35 There you have these options:
    36  * disable autosave altogether
    37   * set a custom value for the time interval in seconds (default is 300).
    38   * 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).
    39  * keep backup files when saving data layer: 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.
    40  * Choose if you want to see a small notification at each save.
