Right. A second backup file in a different location that is a copy of
what is on the remote server.

I think of backup file in the same way that I think of my Time Machine
backups or my rsync backups of my file server; they are copies of the
current files that I can use to restore if something goes wrong. In
those cases I *also* have historical versions of the files, but then
again, I do also with BBEdit. I did not expect my BBedit backups to
be 'one version behind'. However, it does speak to the stability of
BBedit, webDAV, and OS X in general that this is the first time I've
even encountered this issue.
Now, if only BBedit had a "auto-save every 5 minutes" setting... (Save
auto-recovery information every 5 minutes doesn't seem to do that as
the auto-recovery folder was empty. But then again, BBEdit didn't
crash or anything. As far as it was concerned, it exited cleanly.)
