I think I have something broken with the path that VS 2008 saves the backup files. Since few days, it creates a new "Visual Studio 2008" directory in the same folder that my .sln file exists. Then, after the time of the first auto-save expires, the backup files are being saved to this folder.
I browsed the tools-options dialog but I haven't found a way to set the directory to by static: C:\documents and setings\\My Documents\Visual Studio 2008\Backup Files.
Can anybody point me with the right solution to this problem (probably the correct registry entry - I guess) ? thanks

For previously saved files, Visual Studio saves a copy of the file in %LocalAppData%\Microsoft\VisualStudio\BackupFiles\[projectname].
Starting with 17.2 Preview 1, the new autosave feature will help with this. Use Visual Studio Search (Ctrl+Q) and look for “autosave”. That will take you to the Environment\Documents page in Tools\Options.
Check here:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\9.0
Fixing the paths there should do the trick, take a special look at VisualStudioLocation which by default points to %USERPROFILE%\Documents\Visual Studio 2008
