This is the real problem.

This is not a problem. Note that the function that you are talking about is not
creation of *backup* copies (configured by "Options->Load/Save->General->Always
create backup copy", and **created in the same directory as the original
file**) - but creation of *autorecovery* information ("Save AutoRecovery
information" in the same dialog). The problem here is likely the naming of the
directory in "Options->LibreOffice->Paths"; it should not be "Backups", but
"Autorecovery".

> 3. Single folder with all the backups is cluttered and difficult to navigate.

This is also not a problem, because that directory, as explained, is intended
for internal purposes, should ideally be managed by the application, and
cleared at successful close. We rather should fix the problems that *lead* to
its cluttering, not split it.
