Hi,

I think this would be a really important feature for denemo: save a backup for
each file with the same name but with the suffix .denemo~ .  This would work
as follows: each time you save and overwrite an existing file, instead of
overwriting File.denemo, you rename it to File.denemo~ (overwriting the old
File.denemo~) and save the current as File.denemo .

The text editor jEdit does something like this.  I think it would help prevent
severe loss of data on crashes that corrupt the file.  I have experienced such
crashes that leave the .denemo impossible to load.
