I just lost three hours of work because I had overwritten the main file.
When I went to restore timeline backups, it only had 2. The first one was at the start of the three-hour project, and the second one was after I had overwritten everything.
My settings are attached.

I've always found this unintuitive, myself. But there is a good explanation of how these settings actually function in the Setup and Workflow section of the Reference Manual (under Help menu).

Hey,
There is a full article here about the backups and some information I found.
