After reading a little bit about emacs backup functions I experimented with customising emacs using the 'options' menu and succeeded in getting the type of backups you were talking about.

It looks similar to yours (I even tried a version from the emacs backup-wiki without success) and I don't know why it did not work previously.

Anyhow thanks again for your pointer.

Regards
Johann
