Can't run auto backup error

[SteveGarman]

I'm running Mac OS 10:13:6 and PT 2019.6.0 on a 2012 Mac Pro. I recorded a podcast for 30 minutes on one track, then went down to the next track to record another podcast and when I hit record it went about
1/8 of an inch and errored out with a message that said "Can't do an auto save..." and then quit. When I tried again to record got the same message
and it stopped recording.


I assume "Auto Save" is also on the recording drive and I had 225 gigs free there. I didn't get the rest of the message because I had people on- line and
your only thought is to get the session rolling again, so I can't tell you the rest of the error message.


I closed the session and restarted the computer, opened the session again and began recording again at the same spot. This time it rolled on for as long as I needed it to record (about 30) minutes, although I was about to have a heart attack thinking it would quit again. I was even too afraid to hit control-s until I had stopped recording.



I've had this error before. I'm hoping someone can explain why it happens and how to avoid it in the future.


Thanks,
Steve

What drive are you saving sessions to? Maybe communications to your session drive went out? Drive went to sleep maybe?
