Word never "saves" a backup file, it simply "re-names" the current file,

Hmmm...

That SHOULD mean that one could attach a Folder Action script to one's
various folders that scans the folder for filenames starting with
"Backup of", transferring them to a central location (overwriting, if
necessary).

Can't experiment right now, but I'll put it on my list of things to do
in my copious free time.
