I'm a bit late in on the discussion, but I'll throw this quick one in:

If we're considering saving files to the same directory but with a 
modified extension (.backup), keep in mind that this is very dangerous 
for web site projects. If a backup of a PHP file (for example) got 
accidentally uploaded to a web server, then source of the script would 
be revealed, as .backup would not be processed as PHP.

Kinda obvious, but worth noting :)
