[Request]: Automatic scheduled EEPROM backups about octoprint-eeprom-marlin HOT 3 OPEN

Just to acknowledge - I have seen this, currently undecided if it is something I will include but I can see the usefulness of having it.

I think proper custom scheduling can get complicated to code, so I wondered if maybe automatically saving a backup when a change is made would be useful? (it would possibly be simpler to create!). Obviously with a limit to the last X number of changes. Would that be useful to you? Or do you not use the editor that often and just use it for backups?

As I said in the other issue here - I have not got any time to look into this for the coming 2 months, but after that I may be able to look at it.

@rupertbenbrook do you have any answers on the questions I have posed:

@cp2004 sorry for taking so long to respond. Yes, I think a simple backup whenever a change was made would be a step in the right direction. As you say, you probably want to have a backup each time, but perhaps a maximum number of backups.
