i didnt considered this type of scenario when working on 6587. the moving business is workarounding the dataloss bug on ext4 systems where overwrite causes 0-sized .lyx and its backup file (both!) in some power outage scenarios. it can be changed, but be careful what you are doing... this bug is chasing me just day after we had a discussion about it (hi berliners!) pavel
