Autobackup doesnt work properly

Hello,

as you can see it's 16:44 on my computer's clock and my backup intervals are set to 10minutes. 1.png

So why has the last backup been done at 15:11 if I was using this program non stop since that time?

It could be that the date stamp is being recorded inaccurately. Try this, keep that 'autoback' folder open and change the backup frequency to '1-minute'. Minimize Max so you can see the folder and Max at the same time. Do some playing around in Max and watch to see if the files populate in the folder. 

 

Before doing the test, remove all the backup files that are there so you don't get confused whether they are new or not. You should see new files showing up every minute.

I've been having a lot of problems with autobackup as well. I have it set to save every 15 minutes, but I just had a crash and found that the last backup was two hours ago. This seems to happen a lot. I do very often have multiple Max sessions going, in case that's a factor, but they have different project-autobackup paths.
