Maybe you could do something with

Documentation for "BACKUP-FILENAME-PATTERN":
  This control-string is used with format to make the filename of the
  backup file.  Format is called with three arguments, the first
  being the directory namestring, the second being the file
  namestring of the default buffer pathname, the third being the value
  of the editor variable editor:Backup-Filename-Suffix.

Global value of "BACKUP-FILENAME-PATTERN":
  "~A~A~A"
