--- Comment #20 from Buovjaga <ilmari.lauhakangas at libreoffice.org> ---
It seems I hastily gave bad links to the AskLibO answers - to the revision
history instead of the answers. I can't find a way to link to the answers
themselves so:
https://ask.libreoffice.org/en/question/75460/libo-515-on-debian-85-writer-close-without-asking-to-save-in-need-of-an-automatic-incremental-saving-function/?answer=75547#post-id-75547

The answer by mark_t has a TimeAutoBackup document, which contains the macro
module and documentation. Quoting from the file:

"Copy the three modules from the Standard Library of this document or from the
module code sections of the text of this document.

In the “TimedBackup” module set “Const iBackupTimeSeconds” to the desired delay
between automatic saves in seconds. Recommended 900 = 15 minutes.

Under “Tools”, “Customise...”, select save in LibreOffice and assign the macro
“Standard.TimedBackup.TriggerAutomaticBackup” to the events for "Document
loading finished" and "Document has been saved as". 

In “AutoBackup” module, set sPathBackupFolder to select the location for saving
timed backups. The default "\BackupDocs" will save timed backups to a subfolder
"BackupDocs" of the current documents location."

I think it is outrageous that you accuse me of condescension and arrogance when
I am helping you in my free time, as user to user.
