On emacs built from emacs-25 branch (could not verify the same = on 24.5), by doing,

C-h i g (emacs) Backup Names

I get a very g= ood explanation of how the backup files are named.

=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D

When Emacs makes a backup fi= le, its name is normally constructed by
appending =E2=80=98~=E2= =80=99 to the file name being edited; thus, the backup file for
= =E2=80=98eval.c=E2=80=99 would be =E2=80=98eval.c~=E2=80=99.

=
=C2=A0 =C2=A0If access control stops Emacs from writing backup f= iles under the
usual names, it writes the backup file as =E2=80= =98~/.emacs.d/%backup%~=E2=80=99.=C2=A0 Only
one such file can ex= ist, so only the most recently made such backup is
available.

=C2=A0 =C2=A0Emacs can also make "numbered backu= p files".=C2=A0 Numbered backup file
names contain =E2=80=98= .~=E2=80=99, the number, and another =E2=80=98~=E2=80=99 after the original= file
name.=C2=A0 Thus, the backup files of =E2=80=98eval.c=E2=80= =99 would be called =E2=80=98eval.c.~1~=E2=80=99,
=E2=80=98eval.c= .~2~=E2=80=99, and so on, all the way through names like =E2=80=98eval.c.~2= 59~=E2=80=99
and beyond.
