The quickest approach would be to write a wrap script around the script that starts up netbeans.
In that script you could use simple copy or more advanced rsync to backup stuff to a destination of your liking. If that destination has the date as part of the (dir) name, you would have a daily backup. To prevent this to fill up you backup space, the script could drop dirs older than say 14 days.
