When working in Maya, Nuke, AfterEffects or just about any other program, I rename my file with each save. This way, if I fuck up, I can backtrack to the last good version.
Just how many backups do I save...well, I number my files...aaa, aab, aac, etc.
This gives me a few benefits, first and foremost, they aren't confused with frame numbers. Second, I can separate out variations with the prefix...baa, caa, daa, etc. And still have 676 (26 letters times 26 letters) combinations of the second two letters to number. I doubt I'll ever need 676 backups, but you never know. Third, it's geeky.
