Autosave backup file path
By default Master Patch is regularly saving a backup of the session to the local machine. However, it might be that the user wants to auto save backups to a custom file path.
For example, if the physical hardware that Master Patch is running on becomes faulty, then there may be no way to recover the Master Patch session data.
Using the Autosave backup file path the user can define both an interval for auto saves, as well as a file path to save to.
This allows the user to, for example, save to an external storage device on the machine, meaning that in the case of a hardware failure the session data is not lost.
The user is able to define how regularly this auto save happens, however it should be noted that the autosave function performs a complete bundle of all session data, and so on sessions which are very large this could become a heavy operation for the hardware if the save interval is too small.
