Description
It would be great if we could choose in Settings/Preferences/Backup, option "Enable session snapshot and periodic backup" without checked option "Remember current session for nedxt launch".
I would like to have a backup of my unsaved files, without having to have my previous session opened everytime I start Notepad++.
I can access backups of my unsaved files manually in case of Notepad++ crash.

Research direction
No files or tests are named. Start at Settings/Preferences/Backup and trace how “Enable session snapshot and periodic backup” depends on “Remember current session for next launch.” Done means periodic backups of unsaved files continue while the previous session is not restored at startup, with manual recovery still available.
