I really would love to see this!
My main concern is that right now the table keys in the saved variables are serialized in a random order. This means every time a file is saved, it looks vastly different to the previous revision, which in turn makes it impossible to efficiently create incremental backups. My saved variables folder is close to 250MB right now, which could easily lead to a gigabyte of unnecessary backups every hour.
Ideally this auto save (and also the regular save) would store the keys in alphabetical order and check if the resulting file would be different so it skips writing if there is no change at all.
