The reason I do this is if you just save and then hit exit the game abandons your career assuming you are dead...or if your are close to any friendly port allows you to dock there. The screws up your game in SH3 Commander (it also considers you dead/docked...though it will sort out when you resume play) if you are using that ...most players probably do.
The reason I do not just use the SAVE AND EXIT feature alone is that there are problems encountered with this feature that sometimes can and will mess up your game play. I try to never reload from a SAVE AND EXIT saved game if I can at all help it.

I agree, but what if the save _before_ the SAVEANDEXIT save is corrput? That has ahppened to me - i've auto-deleted the save-and-exit save by going earlier, and then found out tha tthe earlier save was corrupt. A nightmare. I start by trying to load the save-and-exit save, and if that fails, i go back to my backup (i.e. one minute before, gametime). I have a supersticious belief that it depends on two saves having the same save-time (in game time). I SAVE, then wait one minute (game time) then SAVENandEXIT. Since I've been doing this i can't remember any corruption.
