How often do u save?

When working on a track, how often do you save your work? I save my work every fifth minute or so.... Just wondering...

I save way too often.

for some reason i cant help but save practically every time I adjust something, or move something around. It's that * that comes up beside the file name in reason.. i just have to make it go away!

I probably save once a min or so.

Not often enough... I can sometimes go on for hours without saving.

Thank God I haven't had a single crash yet.

I feel your pain. I was thinking of jumping out of the window when my pc got infected and I didn't have a restore job. That reminds me, I need to do a backup.

I been thinking about buying an external HD, just plug it in the USB.. What do you guys think is the best stuff for backup?

Same here... just about every time I make a change for the good, I save. Fruity has always saved pretty much instantaneously for me, so I don't mind hitting "CTRL-S" every few minutes. I can't help but think that, even the slightest change can be lost if something happens, and I may never get it to sound the way it did again.

I also sometimes "Save As..." to a different file so that I can keep what I like, but I might feel like experimenting a little bit so I can keep working on it and not worry about screwing it for good.
