A archive/backup save feature
I recently was working on a highly important document. InDesign crashed AT THE SAME TIME as it was in the process of saving the file. I do regular saves, but because of how it crashed I couldn't revert to an earlier saved version of my file. My new workflow is to regularly save my work and I use sequential numbers e.g. filename-v01, filenam- v02. I also sometimes will use save as and create a new file called filename-backup and then I will have to do another save as to revert the document back to filename.indd. What would suit my workflow is I continue to save my file using my standard filename but I can create a 'backup' file at any time called 'filename-copy-day-time'. The extra details in the filename would be automatically added by InDesign. This would also not affect my ability to save my working file as filename.indd.

Quark has had a save feature that allows for up to 20 versions of the the last saved versions of the document accessible. The arrogance of only having 1 version that may get corrupted (I'm talking to you Error 5) is inexcusable. I've had multiple documents corrupt and be lost permanently. I last saved version that was available would be invaluable.
