When I try to save it, what is this?
・「Cannot change old file(file saved with @)」

Cause
Save frequently too quickly
・Editing is fast
・Large file size
・Synced with cloud storage

Cause: Frequent saving is done too quickly
This is more likely to happen if you save frequently using “Ctrl + S”.
Cause 1: Editing work is fast
If you edit too quickly, Blender won’t be able to keep up with the processing and you won’t be able to save.
Cause 2: File size is large
If the file size is large, the Blend file will take longer to save and will be more likely to generate warnings.
Cause 3: Synchronizing with cloud storage
This may occur when synchronizing with cloud storage.
This happens if the temporary Blend file (.blend1, .blend@) is saved and the Dropbox is synchronized at the same time.
Other causes
- Computer specs are low
- Blender settings are set high
- Too many undos
Such
Workaround: Set Save versions to 0 and turn off automatic saving of temporary files.
- Go to [Preferences] → [Save & Load].
- [Blendファイル] [Save version] 1 → [0].
- [Auto save] [Auto save temporary files] On → [Off].
This will reduce the number of times old files cannot be changed (saved with @) and version backups fail (saved with @).
You don’t have to worry about it
If you are familiar with Blender, you don’t need to worry too much.
Summary
Unable to change old file (saved with @), There are three main reasons why version backup fails.
- Cause 1: Editing work is fast
- Cause 2: File size is large
- Cause 3: Synchronizing with cloud storage
As a workaround
- Save versions to 0, turn off automatic saving of temporary files
- If you know the cause, you don’t need to worry about it.
A final soliloquy
It is important to have a diligent awareness of preserving.
