Hi,
I installed the Lyx version 2.2.2. Before I used the 2.1.3 version. Now I have trouble saving the .lyx file. The error message says:
LyX: Backup failure.
Cannot create backup file "THE PATH WERE I WANT TO SAVE IT". Please check whether the directory exists and is writable.
It certainly exists and is writable because I just created this file 1min ago for test purposes. Instead it saves the file under a alternative name such as:
Wanted: test.lyx
Actual: test-qr6264.lyx
I tried to use the backup directory, however if I use it all the "\" are converted to "!" which does not help the problem in identifying the correct path.
Thanks for your help guys.

Bug Lyx 2.2.2 saving .lyx file
I don't think I've heard of this problem before. What operating system is this? What file system are you using? Can you try in different locations? (e.g. if on Windows different drives).
