Not working here.

Even basic autobackup is not functioning.

Can someone from davinci chime in here and maybe give us a clue as to what is saved, in what format. Internal or external to project, and exactly where , and the naming convention, so we can progress this further ?
Thanks

Thanks for checking paul. When talking with other resolve users before installing my v7 system , the general consensus was, don’t go near print to tape or auto backup , so I guess it has been like this for a long time.

It’s low priority, as we can manually create backups, I just feel it should be removed entirely until it works, because it gives new users a false sense of security.

Thank you Paul,

OSX 10.7.5
Resolve 9.0.2.15

Would i do better to move up to Mountain Lion?

BTW, I just this minute changed my settings from “Save project to Backup” to “Save Project, ON”, and my only backup in the list has now been deleted.

This is a great AutoDELETE facility, why has it been named “autoSAVE”?

Thank Paul,

Thank you for your fast response , yes i have read the manual, and did exactly what you said.

I am seeing the “saving” progress bar interrupting me with great regularity, but on the last project , i only ever saw ONE backup, no accumulated list, despite refreshing the list

I now have started another project, which is regularly autosaving and interrupting me (and irritating my client)… But now i have ZERO saved projects in the list

even after pressing refresh !!

its not only REALLY badly designed, its broken, in my opinion.

anyone got a fix?

HI Andreas,

I can not help you with this, but it does flag up what may be the number one weakness in Resolve.

RESOLVE has NO true ” Auto Save “, which is quite shocking in the 9th version of a software.

It has an ODD non-standard save function, with the WRONG (AutoSave) name on it.

We really need a REAL auto save, which works in the traditional way. Where if a version becomes bad/corrupt/deleted we can drop back one, two, three or more versions easily.

It is misleading to put the term “autoSave” in the advertising, when you actually need to keep accumulation, renaming and saving projects manually to have a true safety.

But users only find this reality out AFTER a disaster.

Peter
Also please sort out the Middle East situation and Syria, and the banking crisis and the rising cost of energy.

After that, you can take the rest of the week off, unless I think of anything else.

Eternally grateful.

+1

the tracking is so good that it can easily do this face blur stuff… but it needs to have a higher maximum.
