The default for `auto-save-file-name-transforms' currently puts
backups for remote files directly into `temporary-file-directory'. It
doesn't seem a good idea to share a directory for backup files on a
multi-user system (apart from the normal security issues with
predictable names in /tmp). Also, if the machine crashes and reboots,
it probably clears /tmp, along with the backup of your work.
How about using a directory under ~/.emacs.d instead,
e.g. `~/.emacs.d/autosaves'?
