Hmm... Makes sense. 

I used to do that by putting all the .lyx~ in my dedicated /backup directory, and emptying it periodically. But then, regular files from various directories happen to have the same name, so the corresponding .lyx~ files would get overwritten.

So, your advice is probably smarter. I’ll follow it!
