Just lost a full day's work because my auto-save failed
I was putting the final touches on a detailed assembly drawing. My CAD software crashed and the auto-save feature didn't kick in, so all my progress is gone. What backup methods do you rely on to prevent this kind of headache?

Do you manually save your work as you go, or were you totally relying on auto-save?

Total trust in auto-save sounds like a horror movie plot waiting to happen. My fingers still hit ctrl+s every few minutes without me even telling them to. After losing a whole term paper in college because a program froze, that fear is baked into my brain forever. Auto-save is a backup, not a plan. Relying on it completely is just asking for disaster.

What if hitting save is just a habit from when computers crashed a lot?
