Default Auto backup

I have a couple of extremely important documents that I tend to work
on for days at a time. I 'save' frequently but may leave the doc open
for several days.

How can I do the following:

-Automatically save a new version (backup) of Word doc every few
minutes (if it has changed) or at least every time I 'save'.

-Have each version time stamped or at least have a unique name.

-Do the above ONLY for the Word docs I select. (not all of them).

-I am willing to take a hit on slower saves if I can get the above
functionality.

-I am willing to manually housekeep the large number of backups that
may result.

If someone has an alternate approach, please share that as well.

Thanks
