I have seen a good solution to the same problem in Jedit. It is a java text
editor and its default behaviour to save backup files into the same
directory as the original.
I can change its configuration settings to save backups into a specific
directory, e.g.
C:\backup
I can still find the backup files easily, because it creates subdirectories
like:
C:\backup\C\home\myProject
Notice the "C" subdirectory represents the C drive here.
