My husband put 30 hours into a work project this week. He's using Microsoft. It's supposed to automatically save and there's a backup so if that fails it automatically saves anyway. It didn't automatically save & the backup also failed. 30 hours of his work, which was due yesterday, disappeared when the document crashed before he sent his project out. Seems like this should be a 1990s problem. Manual saves are back. Who knew.
