I would suggest some kind of automatic save / backup option which is STANDARD unless turned off.
Something like backing up the last 60 min, max backups 5 (5 hours). This way, there always a way to go back an hour or 3 hours and work again from there (like after making radical changes you decide that those changes weren't for the best and you'd like to revert). Seeing the Save All button actually overwrites old saves, which is kind of annoying.
And yes, this actually has something to do with me just losing a week of work after renaming a Global Variable which keeps on crashing my main VI. And no, recovering has no use. Would be awesome to just go back a save, having only to rewrite the last hour (or so).
Thanks.
PS. I've already started rewriting the code and have no intention of recovering the old, but if there is an option as described above I'd like to know where it is and why it isn't standard issue (I can only imagine it taking up loads of disk space, but seeing 1TB disk space ain't even much any more who cares?).
