Set the Scene Backups value to 0 in your prefs? We have the same problem here actually. Soft just insists on creating a Backup directory if a backup is generated. It has to put it somewhere, so I guess the only way to stop it is to not have it generate backups in the first place, and create your backup system instead.

Hmm I thought I got this to work last night.. But if I change the Backup key, it makes the new dir, but still creates a 'Backup' dir and saves a backup in there.. Can I stop that?

    Ah whoops my fault, I saw the Autodesk folder and assumed it had
    moved there as there was some Softimage stuff inside! Cheers Stephen!

        Hi there,

        I'm trying to fit Softimage into our pipeline nicely and I
        think the only folder that I cannot change is '/Backup' ...
        Everything else that needs to be saved out is easy to change
        in the preferences/when saving/when rendering...
        Simulation/Render Pictures etc.

        Anyone have any idea?

        This doesn't seem to apply any more, 2013 doesn't ahve these
        keys.. :
