Not a automatic method but DPack has a manual process in the IDE

There is no mention of that here http://www.usysware.com/dpack/ so I would assume it works on all versions until I tried it and found out different.

You could ask this on their forum

I have been using DPack for years since VS2005, VS2008 and VS2010.

I use (free) cloud storage service for this. Dropbox is my favorite. When I create a new project, instead of have it saved to the default location (my documents > visual studio xxxx > projects folder), I select the dropbox folder. Everything then will be synced automatically to dropbox, which I can access from other computers too.
It doesn't directly answer your question about automatic backup, but it actually does more than that. Dropbox automatically saves different versions of files that you can use to revert unwanted changes.
Give it a try and you'll probably like it.
