Or are they saved somewhere else?
Yes: back-up files are saved in a separate, single directory. (This
means, of course, that different files with the same name in different
folders overwrite each other's back-up files, which may not be ideal
behaviour.)
Why not put them in the same folder as the base file?
I give up: why not? ;^)
Because you may not have write access to that folder? eg I decide to
edit /your/ file preparatory to saving as my own - system dies partway
through before I've saved it.
Maybe the user should be allowed a list of places to try to put backups,
to be tried in order? Use the first accessible of "document folder",
"user scratch area", "system scratch area" sort of thing.
