Ok, guys thanks for the hints. What's your experience with the NotebookAutoSave feature? Is it stable? My experience with other software is that it may crash while saving, especially if the files are big. It can then leave the files in an inconsistent/partial state.

Oh, and beware of .mx! It's not cross platform or cross-version. Never keep important data in .mx. An cross-platform, cross-version alternative is to Compress your expressions and write the resulting string into a file. I use zimport[filename_] := Uncompress@Import[filename, "String"]; zexport[filename_, data_] := Export[filename, Compress[data], "String"]

| Jan 23, 2014 at 20:44 | comment | added | Szabolcs | I'm afraid there's no good solution here. I've been looking into accessing already running kernels on remote machines to examine and change their state a couple of years ago. If you don't already have some setup to enable this, then I don't think it's worth spending any more effort. Just re-run the calculation next time you can access the machine and make sure the results are saved at the end of the calculation using Export. | |

Oh, for next time, there is also NotebookAutoSave.

That's why I always write the results of my long calculations to a file. Export[...,"file.mx.gz"] is your friend. Doesn't help you now, I know...
