Saving Backup copies

[Bonnie Dalzell <bdalzell qis net>]

I cannot find any reference to how to set Gnumeric so that it 
saves a backup copy of a current file under a backup name.

When working with important numerical data - for example I keep my 
employee timesheets in Gnumeric - it would be valuable to be able to:

1. Have several levels of backup available - to be set by user.

Timesheet-20091224.gnumeric
Timesheet-20091224.gnumeric-bkup1
Timesheet-20091224.gnumeric-bkup2

So that if you make a big mistake and save it you can recover back to the 
previous backup.

2. Have an ability to designate at the time a file is saved as read only. 
This can be changed from the filemanager if needed - but not from within 
the file. Important for archiving business related applications.
