Petition to remove automatic deletion of backups

[jakeplus]

This is the most annoying thing ever. Ableton deletes backups automatically after 10 saves, which has screwed me multiple times when I needed to go back and dig up an old idea that I saved over. I want to keep all the backups. At least give us the option to turn this off.

You can rename your Liveset-File within the Project, so you have Versions (e.g. CoolSongV1, CoolSongV2, etc.). For each new renames file Live will create 10 new backup files in the project Backup folder. However I noticed when you have different Live Set files in one project folder Live struggles to identify unused Files in the project when using the File Manager to clean-up your project... So yeah, an option for unlimited backup files would be much appreciated.

In my opinion it’s a much better habit to manually save incremental versions.
So I would vote for simply removing backups.
