There have been notable changes to the way JabRef saves files and JabRef's backup manager, first encountered in the development version for JabRef 5.8

This page has to be updated: https://docs.jabref.org/advanced/autosave

Edit: Some of these changes are already explained in JabRef's CHANGELOG.md file

We call backup files .bak and temporary writing files now .sav.
JabRef keeps 10 older versions of a .bib file in the user data dir (instead of a single .sav (now: .bak) file in the directory of the .bib file)
