If I were designing this function, I would create the backup 
immediately upon open. If the file is just viewed without being 
edited/updated, then delete the backup when the file is closed or 
when BBEdit is shut-down. If it worked this way, you would have the 
backup you wanted.

Note: I am not critiquing the current method (which I assume is a 
rename of the file just prior to doing the save of the updated 
version under the original name) but only suggesting a safer but more 
labor intensive method. There is also the option of doing snapshots 
of the current status to the local HD (just like a word processor 
does) and cleaning up after the save.
