Is it possible to get the 'Backup on Save' to also add a time stamp, or something unique with each save, to the file name?
This could be an optional check box.
This would help greatly if needed to review prior coding.
Thank you for your time.

You can write a custom "Save" plugin that appends timestamp to the filename. Just make sure you clear existing timestamp or you will end up with very long filenames

Take look at my Project Workspace plugin for inspiration and code fragments.

It manipulate filenames before saving, using WeBuilder events.
