Posted: Thu Feb 09, 2006 7:51 pm Post subject: Auto save tournament |
|
|
Ok... so I was entering an elimination in a tourney I had today and I accidentally knocked out the power supply on the laptop. The battery is shot so I didn't have that as backup.
I think there should be a feature to save a backup every X minutes to a special auto-backup file.
Just my little idea anyway. |

There is.....but you have to save the file orgionally...Unlike I did at my last tourney....and the computer crashed in the middle of the 5th blind level.... |

Really?
I did have the tourney saved as a file and in the main league file, but neither got backed up regularly. I've seen the .BACKUP file, but is that meant to get saved automatically every X minutes then? |

Ah cool stuff. Maybe I had just loaded it from the league then (I guess it won't autosave then? - well, it didn't cause I checked the .BACKUP file, but it hadn't been updated since the normal one had, which was before start of tourney).
Maybe the league file should autosave aswell then... |

You actually have to save the tourney. Once you do this then the autosave gets activated........always save once you open a tourney (unlike me).... |

You don't.
Leagues are automatically saved to a backup file also...so if your tournament is part of a league and someone kicks the computer, just reload the league backup. _________________ --
