Hi Piotr, did you realize that, if the backup copy fails for any reason, also the document cannot be saved and thus *all* work is lost? I experienced this behaviour recently to my dismay (not to say anger). So beware: If you get the warning that the backup copy cannot be written, then save your document in another way. E.g. ctrl-a and paste it into an editor or whatever so at least you have your text safe even without the formatting and whatnot. This is a very silly behaviour of LibreOffice. If the backup copy cannot be written but the document can be written - why not at least save the document before closing the LibreOffice Writer? After this experience I disabled backup copies because it is even more dangerous than working without backup copies. The reasons why backup copies sometimes cannot be written is very obscure. It seems to be a hickup of KDE which affects LibreOffice because similar things happen sometimes with Okular which sometimes is unable to write its tmp files.
