Keybored 0 Report post Posted January 4, 2010 For those of you who really, really hate to lose your work, today only for $8.95 you can get a remarkable program called "Forever Save" at Macupdate. The program is configurable -- you add each program you want it to tail -- and it saves versions all along the way. From a menu icon you can view your backups. Why would you want this program when Storyist autosaves backups? Well, my system managed to confuse Storyist, possibly by pulling a file from my other computer over wireless, and for whatever reasons all the saves and autosaves I thought were happening weren't. Foreversave would have saved ITS files in addition. Hey, I bought it. Reviews are positive. Sorry if this seems like a spam: I'm not affiliated with the programmer and don't get a cut. Too bad about the last. Just thought the obsessives among us would like to know... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm actually more concerned about "...my system managed to confuse Storyist..." than finding a new backup system. I haven't experienced that particular problem myself but don't you think this is something Steve should look into? I could be wrong but may I suggest that you repost under Troubleshooting (since it's how you solved a problem) and send Steve a PM on the subject. Or not. He'll probably read your post eventually. Fellow obsessive, - Thoth. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
