Writing to SSD is not instantaneous and I've found auto-save to be an annoyance. I much prefer creating backups at coherent checkpoints by SAVEing. I am frequently working with two books open (business and personal) and transactions such as funds transfers affect both books. For backups to be coherent, I need to invoke them manually.

Are there issues with doing this that I've not thought of? If my file gets to several years worth, will it get large enough that this actually takes a non-trivial amount of time? Will it be unmanageable for other reasons?
