My Maya has been rather unstable lately and has been crashing a lot, and I have been losing a lot of work. When that happens, I punch the nearest baby I can find, if I can't find a baby then I eat a kitten. Okay, okay, I don't actually punch a baby or eat a kitten (although I might naw on it). I do however get very angry, turn bright green, grow muscles, and my pants become way too tight. The good news is that this is totally preventable, with a little script my friend Christine turned me on to that will auto save your files to a preset interval you set (to the second no less). Best of all it has an option to give you a little "do you really want to save?" message before it does. I've been using it for a few days now and I am totally satisfied with what I paid for it, which was nothing because it was free. Seriously though, its a fairly nifty little script.
