Logic is only saving one Project File Backup and writing over it on successive saves. I have tried trashing preferences, running Disk Utility, and even re-installing Logic, but still the same bug.
Has anyone else experienced this?
I'm running macOS High Sierra 10.13.1 and Logic 10.3.2.
Logic Pro X, macOS High Sierra (10.13.1)
How about, log in to a different user on your Mac and see if that works. I would try a new Project and also open a Project that you have trouble with under your main user account. You have to copy it to the shared folder first so you have access to it.
This way you can see if it is something on your user directory.

Did you check your Preferences? What's your current setting in the Auto Backup popup menu?
Hope that helps

It's most likely a High Sierra related bug.
Make sure you provide Apple with a bug report:
Yes, that was the first thing I checked. I normally keep it set at 30. I tried changing it to another setting to see if that did anything and the only one that has an effect is turning off the backup option.
I’ll check the system setting. Thanks for that! I’ve been keeping a test project’s backups folder open (like you showed) to check if any of my changes would fix it.
No luck with the system settings either. So strange!
Unfortunately, the same problem occurs on another user account as well.
Try to change the setting int he System Preferences.
In previous Logic versions, it followed that setting until they implemented their separate setting. Maybe in High Sierra there is some confusion.
Also, I'm not sure if you are familiar with the "inside" file structure of theaProject File (or comfortable opening it up). There you can see the Backup Files. You can keep the folder open and see if it fills up. Every Project Alternative has its own backups so you can further investigate its behavior.
Good Luck
