Description

I suggest a user-setup folder for .BAK files.
It would make housekeeping faster and more simple, and the BAK files would not 'clutter' the project-folder.
Imo several benefits.

Research direction

The issue proposes moving .BAK files into a user-setup folder, but it does not name any files, tests, or entry points. First clarify where backup files are created and how the destination should be configured; done should mean that .BAK files no longer clutter the project folder and existing housekeeping still works.
