I could do that, but how would I get the backup file in the same format
that NetBeans produces, so that it would be easy to import/restore when
needed?
Is the backup zip file just a copy selected files in the .netbeans
directory?

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.

Yesterday I accidentally deleted all of my project groups. I was

recover from a full computer backup, but I had to search around to find
out where they were stored and then manually restore the files.
To improve my chances of full recovery for the next time I do something
stupid, I want to start backing up my NetBeans config once a day.
It would be extra-super-cool if NetBeans could do that for me.
Something, like: take a backup on the first startup of NetBeans on a
calendar day, to a specified directory with a date sensitive filename
pattern.
Is such a thing possible? Assuming that it is not a current capability,
is it feasible to write a plugin or a change to the base system to
accomplish this?
