You have not made it clear exactly which setting you changed to 60
minutes, but if it is the auto-save time then changing it to 60
minutes means that (unless you save the file manually) you could do 60
minutes work before it auto-saves the data file.  That means that
after 59 minutes of work, if you lost power or if something crashed
you would completely lose all that work.
