“Automatic Backups” is a plugin by SteveCooper.
When you edit text files (scripts, prose, whatever) you often find yourself wishing for an older version. This plugin takes a copy of every file you save and copies it into a backup directory structure, ensuring that you never lose an old version of the file.
You can download the plugin from sublimetextwiki.com/SteveCoo … gin.py.txt
Installation instructions;
* Download the file.
* Save to your UserPluginFolder.
* Open the file and change the line that reads return "c:\\backups\\" so that it points at the folder you want to save backups to. Around line 19.
* Remove the .txt extension from the file.
* Start SublimeText
* Open the console with the View | Console menu item.
* When you save a file, you should see a line like this, indicating that the file has been backed up;
