I just have seen that you did configure `tramp-auto-save-directory' for a local directory; and I did recommend to do the same for `tramp-bkup-backup-directory-info'. Then you need to reduce the password requests from Tramp. Which access method do you use? An external method like "scp"? Change it to "ssh". Or set `password-cache-expiry' to nil.
