I have now added a variable `org-remember-backup-directory'.
Set this to a directory, and every remember buffer
you create will end up in a separate file, with date
and time in the file name, so that you can always recover.

That is perfect. Thank you.

Note that, if you use remember frequently, you will create
a lot of these files. So maybe we need to think of an expiry
mechanism? Like, remove any files older than a few days?

As one possibility, how about removing the file once the contents are
successfully moved to their target locations?

Of course! I will do that.

After that,

(when (plusp number)
(message "you have %s saved remember files" number))

Hmmm. When should this happen? Not after a
successful remember process, I'd say.....
