Here's the description on how do the numbering system for my ProTools session files.  Stage 1:  writing phase thus I use (1.0, 1.1, 1.2, etc.).  Stage 2:  recording or 'tracking' phase (2.0, 2.1, 2.2, etc.).  Stage 3:  Mixing (3.0, etc.).  Stage 4 (if needed) is to do a Recall of the Mix (4.0, etc.).  This structure could work for other applications that have major stages during the process.  Maybe it could work for you too!  I do highly recommend this system if you're making a record as it makes the organization very obvious.  You don't have to go hunting for which version was what and on what date.  You always know which is the latest version and can easily go back a version if you jacked something up in your current one.  I also have an automatic backup every minute (with a total of 99 backups at all times) so that if the computer crashes while doing something, the most you'll lose is whatever you did in the last minute.  Oh, almost forgot.....the way I number my Logic files are the same except I only do 1.x, and 2.x because after I've tracked all the midi sequenced parts into ProTools, the rest is done solely in ProTools.  Occasionally, I'll go back and add a sequenced part using Logic, but I'll add that to the 2.x version and just save it as the next number (2.2 or 2.3).  Hope this helps!!
