ok so hear me out, I've lost hours of work recently because of blender's shoddy autosave system, and everybody knows that it's objectively one of the worst known to mankind, and with 4.0 already in it's testing phase, I think it's about time the developers give blender it's long overdue rework of the entire autosave system that it desperately needed since 2.9. there's a lot to be desired in this aspect, but I'd recommend starting by adding the option for blender to store more than 1 autosave per blender session, with additional customization such as the order autosaves are overwritten, or better yet even making blender just save an indefinite amount of copies instead of overwriting one, offering the basic convenience of having multiple points to roll back to

Hi, I'd suggest to talk with developers before crating any design task: https://wiki.blender.org/wiki/Communication/Contact#User_Feedback_and_Requests
Without developers consent this task is more like a request for improved behavior.
Closing as this bug tracker is only for bugs and errors.
If you've found some particular bugs related to auto-save functionality, please feel free to report them.

unfortunately that page is completely outdated, which is why I came here before anything else, I'll try taking my feature request to rightclickselect, but it looks way too unofficial for the developers to possibly notice

Reach out to devs in blender.chat?
But it would be good to know exact issues you've observed so far.
