I forgot to mention in my reply that I use my lcStackBrowser plugin's Checkpoint feature for auto saves. It allows me to save at specific intervals or on request and I can assign a description to each checkpoint. The checkpoints are kept in a zip file in the same folder as the stack file and I can restore a specific checkpoint at any time.
