Just read some CAD NG's for the various programs. Almost every day not

Eagle 5.0 but then decided 4.16 was better. Unfortunately he had touched
his custom library with 5.0 and saved, probably realizing the
millisecond he hit "save" what he'd done. No backup. So I suggested a
trick to get it back but since I did not upgrade I don't know whether
it'll save his day.
Now had Eagle stored umpteen backup files like it does for schematics
and layouts this might have been prevented. Unless he saved one too many
times, that is.
I save the entire state of the operating system and all applications
(very easy when you work inside a VMWare virtual machine) every time
I take a break and right before doing anything risky like upgrading.
Any saving that the application does is just extra insurance. With
today's large hard disks and fast processors, there is no excuse for
not being able to recover from any hardware or software failure
without losing moree than an hour or two of work.
