I can only give you a couple of clues. You would set some variables up in
your ~/.emacs file. Some of the relevant variables are:
make-backup-files : this actually tells emacs how to make backups
backup-dir should give you the backup directory, but I am not 100% sure.

BTW, is RCS similar to CVS or am I mixed up about these?

Yeah, well, I'm using Mozilla now. I s'pose I could always bust out the
