AuotCAD does that by default. It can be turned off, I have never used it, but most swear by it in case your file becomes corrupt.

Always save a copy of the drawing before trying anything suggested here.

Yes.

But - to avoid misunderstandings - it doesn't create each time a new additional bak-file. The one existing bak-file is always overwritten.

So you have ONE file to restore the previous (last saved) state. (Beside the sv$-file, created automatically in predefined time intervals. That's another filetype to avoid losing your work).
