Is there a way to have a automatic backup? Some applications like editors (kedit, kwrite) offer an entry in the setup, where you can specify, if a copy of the previous version is retained when saving a file.

Are the backup files created only saving data directly with korganizer/kaddressbook, after a time period or also through a kpilot synchronization procedure?
