I'm with Mike. I find the AutoSave feature brings me more tragedy than joy. I prefer to develop a good, solid, old-fashioned work habit than to rely on that feature.

If one walks across a keyboard, it can add or delete all kinds of things in a document. Autosave will happily save the fouled up version. If you're away from the keyboard, it's possible for autosave to run more than once, overwriting even the .backup.fm file. I've made it a habit to hit Ctrl-S regularly, instead.
