backup program that will save as out of archicad

I've done some searching, but no luck. Is there an add on or third party software that will autosave my PLN file as I'm working on it? I'd love something that would just save as and increment the file names. Allow me to set the amount of times between the backups and limit the number of backups. Something like if I'm working on a pln project file the software will "save as" my project every 10 minutes, increment the file names, and after 10 saves it will start overwriting them. I believe revit does something like this, but it's been awhile since I've used it.

Free is great but would pay for an app that would do this if necessary.

As far as I know, this is a feature of the BIMcloud Server, if that is an option you want to pursue. You can use BIMcloud Basic even if you are the only person working on the project - just Reserve All and work away. In the BIMcloud Server Manager, you will be able to set up your backup options.
