Thunder 7, a spectacular interactive spell checker/thesauras from Baseline, available from MacWarehouse (800-255-6227) for about $56 has a module called Ghostwriter (I think that's correct, although it is at home on my IIvx) which captures all keystrokes. The captured data is kept in a folder in your system folder. That folder contains folders for each day. Each day's folder contains a seperate text file for each application you use that day. From the text file it is straightforward to reconstruct your lost file. I have been thankful I have it a few times when I trashed the wrong original! I have also recovered files when I have had crahes. Periodically (every week or so) I empty the main folder and continue from the new point I just established. I do not have any interest in Baseline or MacWarehoiuse. I am just a satisfied customer of both.
