Hi :) I tend to have auto-save off or set at much longer intervals. Generally i tend to find that it takes almost no-time to re-type or re-do anything that took under 20mins to do the 1st time around and often there is an improvement 2nd time around anyway. Also i find it really frustrating to have to stop mid-flow when i am cracking on with something. It's too easy to get distracted in my office as it is anyway. 20mins to half hour saves are usually more than enough and if i do them myself then it's easier to remember to add 1 to the documents version number to make sure i have an old version in easy reach if something goes badly wrong.
Errr, my version numbers are a tad basic, none of this fancy 3 digit and meaningful = i just stick a -v1 at the end and then up that number at random intervals to get things like; KhidmatSisters-poster-2014-Jan-v2 well not quite like that but it gives a rough idea. If i'm collaborating with other people then i tend to occasionally sweep all those older versions into a sub-folder, along with all my images, potential images, logos, notes from elsewhere and other clutter. Then a few months later i have a quick scroll through the sub-folder to see if anything should be copied elsewhere and then delete the sub-folder.
