Question

I just lost about an hour's of work when my computer crashed. Is there a timed autosave feature in Visual Studio 2008?

If yes, where is it configured.

It's probably obvious, but I'm not finding it.

Was it helpful?

Solution

Tools / Options / Environment / AutoRecover

?

Seems that the backup files are in this folder:

\...\My Documents\Visual Studio <version>\Backup Files\<projectname>

OTHER TIPS

There's an add-in here: http://cbates.net/document-autosave-for-visual-studio/ it saves when focus is lost (very convenient).
