All this plugin does is automatically ajax stuff somewhere - it doesn't deal with storing data or anything like that. You have to deal with that on the server side.
For registered users I create a blank record in the database and timestamp it as a create date. Then they are updating the record with autoSave instead of inserting a new record when they are done with the form. If they lose power or something, when they come back to the form I can see if that record was already created for them using a cfid, some identifier like a UUID stored in a cookie and attached to the record, or whatever other session tracking mechanism you want to use. When they "submit" the form, it timestamps the record as a complete date. All of my records are 1 to 1 so I'm not worried about orphans but if I were, I would have a scheduled task run occasionally to delete records with a null complete date and a create date over x days ago.
