backup my files, maya!

one feature i loved in 3ds max was the fact that you could save an additional file of your work by automatically increment a suffix number. this is a useful backup feature i really miss in maya; but there’s help to fill this gap: diego prilusky created a handy mel script called dp savesceneplus. be sure you add this to a hotkey like ctrl+shift+s by mapping the command “dp_SaveScenePlus”. next time your scene file has been corrupted by whatever strange reason you’ll be very happy to step back to your previous version!
