Horses and barn doors and all that.

This is really a work flow issue. Back in my working days I would NEVER 
work for 90 minutes without having done several HARD SAVES (save, close, 
reopen file). Especially when doing something stressful like 
editing/writing in assembler. Thirty minutes, take a 5 minute break. Do 
it for 90 minutes straight and I'd expect to have made attention loss 
errors even if the computer didn't misbehave.

The "autosave" is a "soft save". You could use the last interim back-up 
to recover (to the point of that autosave). But you won't have a "mark" 
in your work to show you where that was << say you were entering a big 
pile of transactions >>  Returning from a hard save you probably know 
where you were.
