Default Where does Save As Automatic Backup save its files?

Backups are saved to the folder that the original file is opened from.

Previous backups are overwritten.

Full backup always one version behind your current save.

I understand that you can go to File Save As General & check the Always
create backup box to create backups.

Where are these files stored? Can you change the location or naming
convention so you can ensure previous backup files are not overwritten?

Is this a full backup? Or only the changes?

Thanks,
