Sorry, I did read your reply but didn't have anything much to add to it
at the time!
However, editor auto-backups (even if enabled) often only cover one
previous version at most - at least for my own systems I'm not sure how
much they'd help. No direct experience though, as I find editor
auto-backups to be clutter and almost invariably turn them off in favour
of version control systems. Maybe Chris finds differently.
