Default 2007 Backup Bug?

hello

in Word 2007, if you enable "Always Save Backup", the backup copy does NOT
contain the previous version of the file, as it does in Word 2003.

as a result, if you accidentally delete all the text in your most recent
save (eg., 'mydocument.docx'), then the backup ('Backup of mydocument.wbk')
will also be empty, and you will have lost all your text.

is this a bug? why does 2007 handle backups differently than previous
versions of Word? can 2007 be set to backup files with the previous file
version?

thanks
