Hi all,

Are you using openoffice for your daily word processing files and office work?

Did you face situation like, where you saved a document but mistakenly deleted/removed and no more available in your PC?

And at the end you are stuck to write it again? Are you going to do that? for sure we will.

Openoffice is almost an alternative of M$ office, as i did not use M$ office so i am not sure they have this feature or not. But openoffice does have this feature. Openoffice will make backup copy of your files, while you are writing/doing your work.

Open openoffice writer(openoffice word processor), click on Tools menu, select Options and choose Load/Save. Click on General and tick this line “Always create backup copy“, and openoffice will start backing up your files from now. You can also change the time for “Save Autorecovery information every“, i am using 1 minute to save the documents automatically.

At the same option page, you can even change the default saving format for openoffice. There are also other useful options which you can change according to your taste.

Now, if you missed any file, where you can find the backup files. So its easy. Just go to your home directory, look for .ooo3(in my case is this, maybe change for different versions or distros) directory, click user directory, now click backup directory. And there your backup files will be.

home/user/.ooo3/user/backup/

user =  your username

That’s it, you have backup copies of your files with No Worries now.
