I can't speak to FinWin, but that's not how it works on FinMac. The "Make Backups When Saving Files" option merely generates a duplicate version whenever you choose "Save" or "Save As." It does not auto-rename previously-saved versions. The autosave feature simply saves the document in whatever state it happens to be in when the autosave daemon kicks in. If you have file corruption, then autosave kicks in, and you manually save the document, you are SOL. You will have to quit Finale, then revert to a version that was saved under a different name before the corruption occurred.
