The paragraph about `backup-directory-alist' does not belong in this node, even though the second half of this sentence (which should be a separate sentence, BTW) does mention something pertinent to backup file names. A typical use is to add an element `("." . DIR)' to make all backups in the directory with absolute name DIR; Emacs modifies the backup file names to avoid clashes between files with the same names originating in different directories. This paragraph belongs in node `Backup', which is about whether, how, and where to save backups.
