Recovery and backups are two similar but different things.

If you want to run a timer in association with an InDesign startup script (seems to me more appropriate to run it in association with an afterOpen event), then you'll need to trigger an associated script in AppleScript for VB (using doScript) that can handle the timing.

Or, you could hang your backup script off a number of UI events that the user is likely to operate with reasonable frequency. That way, during times of no activity, you won't be messing around with unnecessary backups.
