Create timestamped duplicates of files via AppleScript
Of course, if this is really something that comes up often for you, you should look into using version control software - like say, Subversion. It doesn't matter is you aren't writing code, Subversion won't care. I use it all the time to manage the papers I write. Using proper version control will mean that you not only have timestamped old copies, but they can be accompanied by comments that describe the state of the document when it was committed. In addition, the overhead is smaller as it stores changes rather than copies, and if they are text files you can easily diff versions to see changes and a whole host of other cool tricks.
