Interesting. OK, what I need protection from is not a
BBEdit failure but a personal brain fart/user error.

Is there a way to make sure that the file is written to disk
every so many minutes?

I use Keyboard Maestro to do this, not only in BBEdit but in other apps which I trust far less (*cough-Microsoft Word-cough*) to recover well from crashes.

You can find my Keyboard Maestro macro here, as well as instructions on how to use it.
