The other thing to do is have some sort of daily backup of all your
files. I know I've saved myself a couple of times by having an archive
of files around...

Sorry about your loss.
My understanding is that neither "make backups when saving" NOR "auto
save" is the culprit in the file overwrite bug, because every time it
bit me I was using neither one. Furthermore, Darcy Argue, who had also
gotten this bug, was saved by his auto backup.
Dennis B-K had the best advice that I ever got - incremental saves.
Save As... add a number to the end of the file name, every ten
minutes, twenty minutes, or every hour. So "Name Score.mus" gets saved
as "Name Score 01.mus" then 02, 03, etc. If anything ever happens, I
have all the older versions to draw on, so all is not lost.
Of course, the laws of nature being what they are, I have never once
had to use one of my incremental backups. It's kind of like Mob
"protection" money. Bad things will only happen when you DON'T pay the
protection money! 8-)
