Hi,
I was thinking about developing an app, which periodically saves the ram content to harddisk, i mean like when hibernating. So the user can recover it when needed.

For example, a user is typing something in a n app without auto-save feature and power fails or software crashes.
He looses all he has done. If this app is there he just has to recover it.

Is this possible. Just don't know where to start!
