I haven't been this pissed at Apple in a very long time. After digging all through every conceivable place for the global setting to alter the number of backups stored in the backup folder, I have just learned that it was removed in Logic 8. WTF? What would possess Apple to remove this preference?
In Logic 7, I had 50 or 100 backups present in the backup folder at all times. The default has been changed to 10. Who asked me if that was ok? Certainly not Apple. I had to recover my session from my daily backups.
Furthermore, why isn't there an autosave function yet? Having to use a third party application to do this ought to send a clear message, but apparently it's falling on deaf ears. (Here is the 3rd party app which works great, btw!)

This is what I found on the Apple support forum regarding the number of backups in the .bak folder (fortunately there is a workaround mentioned, which I'm about to try):
Way to remove a critical pro feature, Apple. What else should I expect from a company that thought people were too stupid for a two button mouse for over a decade. (Apple, you know I love you. We'll kiss and make up later, but right now, I'm plain pissed off!)

There was a preference item in previous Logic versions that let you specify the number of autobackup files you wanted. This preference was removed from Logic 8, and was set at 10.
If you want to change the value, you can do it by editing the preference file, to give you 50 or 100 backups etc. It's been covered here before, a search should pull it up...
