"...your experience has not included a proper understanding of back-up and autosave files."

 

I have to admit that you are (at least partly) correct.

 

In my environment, where we upgrade AutoCAD only when the DWG file version change "forces" us to do so, and where we are not able to upgrade all users all at once, the "policy" for many years and releases has been to set the "Save As" option to the previous DWG file version, (obviously) to avoid the incompatible version issue when sharing/collaborating with users who are still running the previous version. We have been doing this for so long that "in my experience" we have "always" had BAK files in our Autosave folders, and if I ever did understand the actual mechanics of why they were there (I probably didn't), clearly I was not cognizant of it when I replied to the OP's issue.

 

Thanks for the correction.
