Not that I know of. It's a good habit to just save every so often though. I have actions set up while working on a texture, to save out revisions of the PSD and TGA with the push of 1 action button. So I do that like every 10 minutes. Just need to break the habit of not doing it, I suppose.
I've been messing with autohotkey recently, pretty sure you could use that to make an autosave (save every x mins). dunno about saving progressive versions though
the only situation really it would avoid in photoshop is that old 'do you want to save?' chestnut. yes. I mean NO! NOO, I meant save as!
and you go back in your history steps and no, you've done too much editing to get the original back
Maybe you could avoid the "can't go back enough into history to save the right version" with working with history snapshots, never really used it myself, but i think this could save you if you do think to do some at important steps.
Photoshop is pretty stable but the computer it's running on might not be.
Honestly it's just pathetic that any major art/production program these days doesn't have auto-backup. It's 2009, people! We figured this shit out a decade ago! It's not even a difficult feature to implement. Timer, increment number on file name, use saving feature you already have. DONE.

You sir, are correct! It _is_ indeed 2009(almost 2010 actually) and we _do_ have stable operating systems. The OSes have become so good they handle most software failures. Only time an operating system fails today is most likely due to a hardware failure that the OS is incapable of handling which in turn only happends when the hardware itself is BROKEN.
None of these options are Adobe's fault. Hence, they should not should not try to fix it.
Autodesk on the other hand... that's a whole different story.

Like Xoliul, I also have very little experience with Photoshop crashing.
I think an autosave is a bit overkill, i would hate to get stopped while painting because autosave kicks in. Just my opinion.

well ok, with all those iterations you're fine :P
