Saving Autorecovery Files - Deeper Safety net

I have MS Word set to save autorecovery files every minute. This works fine if there's an actual crash. But Word deletes these autorecovery files if you close the Word file normally. But what if you do something stupid - like close a file by checking "don't save changes" when you actually did want to save?

Solution: I have Synchronize Pro X set to check every time the backups folder notes a change (i.e., everytime an autorecovery file is created) and to save that to a different folder. That way, you're essentially saving a copy of the file every minute for safekeeping.
