I prefer to have auto backup enabled by default.

If auto saving fails, we can alert users early on. In comparison of alerts at saving time. Auto saving happens in minutes, so user can still afford the data loss. User saving may happen after one whole day.

The reason to disable auto saving could be due to data security. It's also a strong requirement though.

I experienced a similar thing when printing to pdf. If the pdf file is opened by another program, like Acrobat Reader, LibreCAD proceeds to save the file asking if you want to replace it but makes no mention that it did not actually save the file because it was opened by another program. Perhaps there should be a warning in this case as well.
