B4a is quite a modern programming IDE but I am puzzled by 2 things
There is no "save as" option; I have to copy the file and load it again (which seem rather archaic to me)
Also, I can't seem to find a backup option. is it too much to ask for such basic features?
Backup should be automatic
I use purebasic for windows and linux development, and it even has a session logger - you can see how your code was 2 or 3 (or how many days) ago

That's actually not true. By default the project is saved when you compile the app. Currently there is no automatic backup.
There is no "Save As" feature as a project is made of many files so it doesn't make too much sense to only change the name of the main project file. As written above you should use Export as zip instead.
You can of course install any source control you like and use it.
