If you read the description of `save-buffer', you'll see that this is by
design.  I think this comes from the olden times when disk space was
precious.

How can have one new backup version created every time i save a file?

You can force a backup whenever you save, by mapping C-xC-s to something
like this:

(defun le::save-buffer-force-backup (arg)
  "save buffer, always with a 2 \\[universal-argument]'s

see `save-buffer'

With ARG, don't force backup.
"
  (interactive "P")
  (if (and arg (listp arg))
      (save-buffer)
    (save-buffer 16)))
