Is it possible to redirect AutoCAD’s bak files to another directory/drive other than the location of the drawing file it was produced from?

Tools -> Options -> Files Tab -> Automatic File Save Location -> Browse to desired location
RE: bak file redirection (save location)
The temp files are automatically deleted when the drawing is saved and closed.
.BAK files are saved with the drawing file in the SAME location.

"C:\Documents and Settings\kjam\Local Settings\Temp"
The name and extensions are generally part of the original file name and it is not too difficult to sift through the chaff. It also contains a last copy of the document prior to the machine hanging...
Examples...
05199S01_1_1_6334.bak
05199S01_1_1_7090.sv$ <--- Last Copy
This is for file 05199S01.dwg
The copy in this directory (folder) has saved me on numerous occasions.

RE: bak file redirection (save location)
I have the autosaves and other temp files going to designated locations. It was just the drawing bak files I wanted to move to another location other than the same directory that the drawing file resided in.
