Publisher's description of EDL AutoSave

EDL AutoSave screenshot
From Everyday Logic:

AutoSave is a mobile application that automatically saves your work at regular intervals. If you or someone you know gets wrapped up in their work and forgets to save, then AutoSave can help. AutoSave is a standalone application that runs in the background and will save what you're working on, no matter which program you're running. This means that as your work takes you from program to program, AutoSave has you covered.

Version 2.5 may include unspecified updates, enhancements, or bug fixes.

    Version: EDL AutoSave 2.5

    "This program takes the worry out of making frequent backups of work in progress."

    by semajetoof on May 19, 2007

    Pros: I have been a collector of utilities ever since the days of the Commodore 64. I've tried hundreds of them and sadly most don't live up to the hype. Consequently it's refreshing when one comes along that A) does what it says it's going to do, and B) is genuinely useful. I'm happy to say that EDL AutoSave is one of those utilities. I do a considerable amount of work in Microsoft Word and Excel. Microsoft Word (2000 or greater) or Excel (2002 or greater) can automatically recover unsaved changes to documents if the program stops responding or there is a power failure. When AutoRecover is turned on, the changes you make are saved at set intervals in a separate, temporary recovery file. The recovery file contains your changes up until the last time AutoRecover saved the document. I'm not a big fan of temporary recovery files. When I'm working along on a document I frequently loose track of time and don't save at regular intervals. This unfortunate habit has bit me in the butt more than once because I have experienced occasions where, due to an unusual type of system failure, the AutoRecover feature didn't work. At that point I'm stuck with hours of re-typing the work that I lost. That is where EDL AutoSave comes in. It automatically saves the document you're working on at intervals of your choosing. It can work with any program you choose or with any program not included on a default "ignore" list. It can also overwrite automatically or prompt to save under a different filename. The interface is neat and simple and the help file is extremely well written with clear and concise directions on how to set up and modify the program to your personal preferences. It is now firmly entrenched on my computer as a daily favorite. And the biggest plus of all is that it is worth significantly more than the low asking price. Don't wait another minute. Get this program and put an end to lost work.

    Version: EDL AutoSave 2.5

    "It is a GangsterWare - Will steal info & Bandwidth"

    by Gatta on July 15, 2006

    Cons: I was wondering as how a program which was only going to save the

    work-file every few minutes is so big - over 5 MB.

    The mystery was solved on installation. It is not a trialware, which

    can be activated by buying the registeration code for $4, but a

    GangsterWare (some users call them: SpyWare)

    You can not delete it in Windows Mode or remove Registery

    Enteries. If you are going to try it, then should have a back-up

    copy of Registery and some uninstall software, which atleast

    can create a list of files installed by this software, so that you

    can manually delete them in DOS Mode

    SUPER JUNK
