REAPER 101 is a series of short tutorials to help you with setting up and using REAPER
All software can and will crash sometimes, there’s no avoiding that. REAPER’s auto backup function saves your work between manual saves. This is great for times when you can’t undo certain actions or in the event of a crash. This video tutorial will show you one way of setting up autobackups to get you up and running with only a few minutes of lost work at the most. We recommend this for all REAPER users.

Why not in a Backup folder in the project directory?
2 reasons. 1 – You don’t have the option of relative paths for backup, I think. 2 – these are temporary files that are seldom used. 99% of the time they are just wasting space. Keeping them all in one folder lets me exclude them from system backups and can run a script to automatically delete them after a week.
This is a stale thread I know, but I just finally setup autosave after using Reaper for years…
I put my autosave files in the project directory. The relative path works like this: “./autosave_files” (Unix like).
Thanks
Oh, so there is a workaround so that there is a relative path (folder in project directory) for backups? Could you explain further?
