R help - Aug 2016 - R Studio: Run script upon saving or exiting

Dear R help,

I would like to run script upon saving project files or exiting the R Studio.
For example I would like to backup whole project in another directory.
The backup directory should be named such that incremental version
number will added to project name.

Is it somehow possible?  Even better would be if someone can also
quickly go through file versions.

You should be asking RStudio questions on one of their support forums.

Regarding the backups:  I recommend that you use a version control 
system (e.g. svn or git) as an efficient way to do that.

See
  ?.Last
for information on how to cause something to happen when R exits.
(whether R Studio overrides this I don't know)
