Incremental Saves as Seperate Files

I am working on the CAD to Revit workflow and one of the things that drives me mad is how people always change CAD drawings with new names. I don't have time to chase the latest CAD drawing in Revit.

 

My ideal scenario is that users would get an incremental save button, much like in 3ds Max, but a bit different. My main objective is that the latest drawing always keeps the same and that we still allow for separate backup files to be created with proper nomenclature.

 

So for example working on the file SITE.dgw.

 

Backup Saving creates a separate file called SITE-2017-09-17.001.dwg, but the user is still working in SITE.dwg.

 

Next Backup save would create a separate file called SITE-2017-09-17.002.dwg, once again the user is still working in SITE.dwg.

 

This allows Revit to point to one file and users always know to just go in the same CAD file. It also keeps a consistent backup structure.

Do you know of any macro or function that could do this?
