Auto-Recovery
The Auto-Recovery dialog displays in instances when there is unsaved data in
the active session and IBM® SPSS® Statistics exits
unexpectedly (the dialog displays after relaunching SPSS Statistics). The
dialog provides options for restoring data from previous sessions that quit unexpectedly and for
deleting saved session data.
Note: Saved session data will remain in a
backed-up state until you either restore or delete the data. The Document Recovery dialog will
continue to display each time you launch SPSS Statistics until all
saved sessions are either restored or deleted.
Refer to the Automatic Recovery section in the General options dialog for information on the available automatic recovery settings.

If you choose to disable Auto-Recovery, you can reactivate the feature via . For more information, see General options.
