Multiple project backup

Until now I have concentrated on my own family project, but recently I started to do family histories for other people. When I try to save a backup of the individual projects they are all saved into one backup folder although I have given the backup folder a different name in the preferences menu for each project. Is it possible to get around this and save each project backup in its own folder?

The
Tools > Preferences > Backup tab options affect
all Projects in
all Accounts on the PC, so there is just one shared
Default Backup Folder.
However, each
Backup does have its own
Compressed (zipped) Folder with a unique
Project related name.
Apart from changing the
Default Backup Folder each time you change
Project, the only way to choose the
Backup folder is to use the
File > Backup/Restore command, and select the folder in the
Save dialogue.
You would then ignore/disable the prompts for
Backup on
Close.
There is a
Filename Suffixes for Backup Types (12132) New Wish List Request that could be taken a step further to define a folder per
Project.
What is your thinking behind needing a
Backup Folder per
Project?
