Dunno about backups, but I experience this problem too. (Another
annoyance I have is accidentally hitting `C-c C-c' to tick a check box
and having my in-progress work being moved.) It can help to use the
`:immediate-finish' and `:jump-to-captured' settings like so:
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
("n" "Note" entry (file "Notes.org")
(file "tpl-note.org")
:empty-lines 1
:immediate-finish t
:jump-to-captured t)
#+END_SRC
