autosave
Crash insurance feature
Autosave is a software feature that automatically saves your work at regular intervals, protecting against data loss from crashes, power outages, or forgetting to save manually.
Most word processors, spreadsheets, and creative applications now include autosave, often syncing to cloud storage.
I didn't lose anything when my laptop died because autosave had my back.
As a verb, to autosave means to save automatically without user intervention.
