Comment (by toscho):

 What happens with the old backup files? Will they stay forever?

 What happens when the user runs out of disc space? This is a common
 problem for backup plugins. Think bulk updates.

 If we implement this, plugin author will think it is allowed now to put
 custom files into the plugin directory. This would encourage the wrong
 behavior.
