I make it a point to set AutoBackup to 1 minute in all of my document editors.
worst case, you will loose 60 seconds worth of changes...

I just posted up a new thread for Cinnamon trying to find out why Power Management does not have AutoShutdown on Critical Battery.... my laptop battery went to zero and my file system crashed.

last night's file system crash put me back on my old habits,

I now just shutdown the PC, all is well that way.
