They removed it so that it is harder to change, the behavior is the same.
I don't think OOo does what you want. You would have to change the path
for each file. You may be able to write a macro for this, but that is
not my thing.
You may wish to file a request for enhancement.
The best way to have problems such as this evaluated is to file an
issue. Issued are used to both report defects in the software and to
propose that new features be added. For instructions on how to file an
issue please see:

Thanks for bringing this to our attention. It is important that you file
the issue to ensure reproducibility with your examples.
HTH,

Subject: Re: [users] How do I get Open Office Calc to do automatic
backups in the same directory as the original file?

Did you try Tools > Options > Paths > Backup.
I don't know if that option will still be there in 2.0.3, I thought I
read there were removing that path for some reason.
HTH,
This is what I tried; it doesn't do what I need. At least I couldn't
figure out how to do it. I need to save each backup file in the same
directory the original file came from, whatever that may be. This
command saves everything in the same directory. This setting also
doesn't seem to get saved with the file, so I can't manually set it
either. I'll have to check 2.0.3; if they removed this, it may do
what I want.
Thanks,
Jim Mueller
