I believe the AutoSave feature has been present for many years under
Edit > Preferences > General > Files and should be in 2.6.12. The
problem with that is that it freezes the UI during the save, which can
take more than a minute for some combinations of data file size and
locations of program, user and data. Twenty percent or more
unavailability is not acceptable. Worse, Auto means that it happens
exactly when the quarterback has the ball, the defensive line is
breaking through, the receivers are all covered with flypaper and the
TV replay cameras are not properly aimed.
That is why I choose manually when I want my backups.
