FL Studio 9.6 Autosave

FL Studio 9.6 is almost upon us. While testing it, here’s something that happened to the FL Studio Guru, really!

Here’s what the FL Studio 9.6 manual says about the Autosave / Autobackup function:

The Autosave function will create backup copies of the current project (and or any overwritten files including .flp, .fst, .zip etc) to the Browser > Backup folder.

The Backup folder is located in FL Studio’s installation directory ..:Program Files (x86)Image-LineFL StudioDataBackup. If you want to recover the last autosave then use the option ‘Revert to last autosave‘ from the File Menu OR select a project from the Browser > Backup folder. Autosaves are made according to the following settings and rules:

• Never (just remind every 10 min) – No backup files are made. The reminder to save your project will appear in the Hint Bar if 10 minutes elapse without a manual save.
• Rarely (every 15 minutes) – Backups are made on every manual save AND every 15 minutes UNLESS FL Studio is playing, then the autosave is postponed until the project is stopped.
• Occasionally (every 10 minutes) – Backups are made on every manual save AND every 10 minutes UNLESS FL Studio is playing, then the autosave is postponed until the project is stopped.
• Regularly (every 5 minutes) – Backups are made on every manual save AND every 5 minutes UNLESS FL Studio is playing, then the autosave is postponed until the project is stopped.
• Frequently (every 5 minutes & before risky operations) – Backups are made on every manual save AND on critical operations AND every 5 minutes, even when FL Studio is playing and before adding plugins.

Enjoy (FL Studio 9.6 coming soon!)
