Backup files sporadic

[Guest]

Althought I have the ALWAYS SAVE BACKUP checked under the SAVE TAB, it seems
backing them up has gone south, or is sporadic. Anyone experienced this?

A backup file is created when you save a document for the *second*
time, which may be the reason why it doesn't seem to work for you. In
other words, Word doesn't create true backups; rather, the backup is
the document one save operation ago. See
