The standard definition of this function is as follows:

@smallexample
@group
(defun make-backup-file-name (file)
  "Create the non-numeric backup file name for FILE.
@dots{}"
  (concat file "~"))
@end group
@end smallexample

You can change the backup-file naming convention by redefining this

@example
@group
(defun make-auto-save-file-name ()
  "Return file name to use for auto-saves \
of current buffer.
@dots{}"
  (if buffer-file-name
@end group
@group
      (concat
       (file-name-directory buffer-file-name)

The value of this buffer-local variable is the length of the current
buffer as of the last time it was read in, saved, or auto-saved.  This is
used to detect a substantial decrease in size, and turn off auto-saving
in response.

If it is -1, that means auto-saving is temporarily shut off in this
buffer due to a substantial deletion.  Explicitly saving the buffer
stores a positive value in this variable, thus reenabling auto-saving.
Turning auto-save mode off or on also alters this variable.
