Thanks for this, good to know. I've changed my backups to every 3minutes now- 10minutes was definitely too long.

I use time machine but that's only every hour so I should probably look to start using SyncTime or similar, as you just mentioned.

Thanks for the help, I hope Avid are taking note of this problem! I think it's something more people would make a note of if they didn't have to rush back to open the session and try to remember what they just did!
