	Define an Autosave span of 1 to 99 minutes for automatic saving. Autosaves happen indepentently from manual saving. So the current [[project]] automatically gets saved under it's name exactly after the minutes entered. You have to do some changes in the project, otherwise the autosave process will not start. The project gets saved with the [[file]] extension '.T3001'''A''''. An earlier autosave showing 'MyProject.T3001'''A'''' gets renamed to 'MyProject.T3001'''B''''. You can set from zero to nine how many autosaves you want to have created: .T3001A to .T3001I. An entry of zero minutes means: No automatic storage. We ''strongly advise against the setting of zero autosaves''. The files can be found in the folder '''BackupFiles''' next to your project file. To find and open the files, the ''File type'' must be selected correctly from the bottom of the browser dialog box. Later save the project with the extension .T3001 to any directory.
