Temporarily save the .mxd Project with the same file name.

[MarcosSerpa]

Fellows, i usually work with .mxd projects and from one or more procedures steps, the ArcGIS simply stop working and appear that advise "not answering" so i loose the project since the last time i saved it. And also, sometimes, really often, i am going to save the .mxd project and appear an advise saying that i can not save that project with the same filename that it is and i have to create another filename dor the .mxd, so i have a lots of files (.mxd) with different names and small differences. What i would like arcGIS to have is the possibility of choose a periodicy of saving the .mdx projects automatically and also to save this files (.mxd) with the same name it is the actual filename! I appreciate if i can don´t loose my projects and to don´t have so many almost equal files with different names! Thank you!!! Marcos CS.

This capability is already offered in ArcGIS Pro.  By default, an ArcGIS Pro project is automatically backed up every 5 minutes, but you can adjust this frequency in the Options dialog box, General tab:

Here is the Help topic regarding how we support backups for ArcGIS Pro: https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/help/projects/save-a-project.htm#ESRI_SECTION1_090E953C44C5...

If you need to save different versions of the project, you can do so via Save project As, in the backstage of the the current project.

Thank you for your feedback.
