[Bug 46480] Backup before saving new version overwrites wrong backup file

The backup-copy is not a real backup but the "last saved version" before the
new version. So it makes sense to have it in the same folder as the actual
"new" version. So you can easily go back to the "last" version, if f.e. the new
version is corrupt, f.e. caused by a crash.

The bak-version is no substitute for a backup of the new version (and older
versions) on a different disk drive (Server, NAS etc.). 

So if you have your eggs only on the build-in disk drive, it makes no
difference, if new and bak-version are in different folders. 

Having them in one folder, there is no need to "construct" new file names to
avoid conflicts. That's the big advantage over your proposal.
