I've been trying to configure the version backup feature to save files in my default backup directory without any success. Only the bak file is written.
Anyone tried this?

I can partially get it to work.
1) If I set
Backup Files on Save:
Append .BAK to existing extension = selected
Default Backup Directory = <directory selected>
Version Backup:
OnSave = checked
Format = $b\\$n$e
then I get a backup appearing (with the specified format, not with a .BAK extension) in the backup directory when I save.
NOTE: You need doubled backslashes in the "Format" field.
2) If I set
Backup Files on Save:
Append .BAK to existing extension = selected
Default Backup Directory = <directory selected>
Version Backup:
OnSave = checked
Format = $b\\$n.$c$e
Maximum Number of Backups = 5
then I get mutliple backups appearing (with the specified format, not with a .BAK extension) in the backup directory every time I save. But it seems to ignore the "Maximum Number of Backups" field. Anybody know how to get this to work?
