Autosave and backup script

I thought it was good to share this here as well: I have a script that adds autosave and backup versions* to InDesign.
 

This script lets you set Auto save in InDesign (standard: every 8 minutes, but you can change that) and maintains five backup versions (you can also change that).

Drop it into Adobe InDesign/Script/startup scripts and it will add a new menu in the File menu (last item) that lets you switch this function on and off.
Want to change the minutes or the number of backups? Open it in an editor and change these lines to what you want:

// =====================================================================
// CONFIGURATION
// =====================================================================
var AUTO_SAVE_MINUTES = 8;
var MAX_BACKUPS = 5;

*BEWARE: the backups are only created on AUTOSAVE and are removed when you close the document (otherwise your HD would fill up) so it is NOT for versioning ;-)
