Question

Is there any Eclipse plugin which autobackup a project every so and so minutes to an email a/c?

Answer 1

After doing some research, I found that such a feature is already present in Eclipse. Eclipse stores every new edit in a file in the following backup folder present in the workspace folder .metadata:

 {Eclipse root directory}/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.core.resources/.history/

The backup can also be accessed from right clicking a file and choosing "Restore from Local History...". However, when it comes to emailing the code, there is no such function that comes with default version of Eclipse, so I guess I do need to learn Eclipse Plugin.
