There is already a feature which does effectively the same thing. Set 'InterimFiles=1000000' in prime.ini and it will write a save file in the working directory with a sequential extension every million iterations (or however often you set it). You must manually edit the prime.ini file, it's not a menu option. It's still a good idea to back up the savefile to some other medium every so often in case you lose your whole hard drive.
