Hi Hans,
Sounds like you have "Protected Saves" turned off.  This is the mechanism 
that 
allows the editor to create a temporary file, the rename/delete the original, 
then rename the temp file to the original file name.  (Voila, there is a file 
to salvage, and there isn't a .BAK file.)  With this turned off, it just 
overwrites the original file.
So, if you turn this on (it's under Options / Full Configuration / 
System/File 
Options on the menus), then everything should be okay.
Hope this helps!
