Description
This extension for LibreOffice and OpenOffice enables the user to make a normal save and to additionally create a timestamped backup copy of the document with just one click.
The backup copy will be placed into the backup directory set in Tools - Options - Open/LibreOffice - Paths - Backups
It is recommended to adjust the path of the backup directory to a user friendly place.
The extension has a menu item in the File menu, and a toolbar icon in the standard toolbar.
It works in these applications: Writer, WriterWeb, WriterMaster, Calc, Draw, Impress, Math.
WARNING for Mac users: The extension may not work under LibreOffice Vanilla which is available at the Mac appstore. This might be due to the increased security settings and sandboxing provided by the appstore, but additional information about this issue is welcomed.

This is a brilliant add-in. I use it to keep a record of versions of my drafts because it saves the file but also it timestamps the file name. Now it doesn't work with the latest Libre Writer. I look forward to your return. Please update it quickly

This works great. I'd love to be able to assign a keyboard shortcut to 'Save and Timestamp Backup' --- and in fact, I'd like to assign the normal save shortcut to this, so I'm always saving versions.
I understand that there's a modification required to the extension to make this possible, e.g. https://ask.libreoffice.org/en/question/112656/set-keyboard-shortcuts-for-extensions/
