    66== Recover the changes ==
    7 * You simply need to restart JOSM and it will offer to open the recovered files.
    8 * You can also find the backup files in the JOSM preferences folder (subfolder `autosave`), where JOSM stores them.
    9  * See [wikitr:/Help/Preferences Preferences] page on how to locate the preference folder.
     7* Restarting JOSM will offer to open the auto-saved files.

    2020How does it know that JOSM crashed?
    21 * It keeps backups that are deleted, whenever a data layer is closed gracefully.

    27 Go to **''[[JOSMImage(preference)]] [wikitr:/Help/Action/Preferences Preferences] -> [[JOSMImage(preferences/map,24,link=,middle)]] [wikitr:/Help/Preferences/Map map projection & data interpretation] -> tab "File backup"''**
    28 
    29 There these options are available:
    30 * enable or disable autosave altogether
    31  * set a custom value for the time interval in seconds (default is 300).
    32  * 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).
    33 * 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.
    34 * Choose if you want to see a small notification at each save.
     26The preferences are described in [wikitr:/Help/Preferences/Map#FileBackup File backup] under **[[JOSMImage(preference)]] [wikitr:/Help/Action/Preferences Preferences] -> [[JOSMImage(preferences/map,24,link=,middle)]] [wikitr:/Help/Preferences/Map Map settings]
