iCloud Drive and LyX Backup Files

[piebald_cession0p at icloud.com]

LyX saves backup files by appending a tilde, ~, to the file name. Apple's iCloud Drive does not upload files ending in tildes to the cloud. Is there a way to get these two pieces of software to coexist, so that LyX backups can themselves be backed up into Apple's cloud?

I suppose this could occur by either:

1. Forcing iCloud Drive to sync files ending in a tilde

2. Changing the extra character in the file extension of LyX backups to a character other than tilde

Does anyone know how to solve this?

If anyone cares, my motivation is that iCloud Drive supports end to end encryption, if you turn on Advanced Data Protection for iCloud. I realize that there are some smaller companies that also support end to end encryption, but the well-known cloud storage providers Box, Dropbox, Google and Microsoft do not. 

Happy New Year, Jeremy
