I just checked LibreOffice Writer's configuration capabilities.  Under
Tools -> Options -> Load/Save -> General you can configure LibreOffice
Writer to save AutoRecovery information as frequently as once per minute
and to automatically save the document too.  There is also a checkbox to
always create a backup copy.
