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.

NEW: TikZ book now 40% off at Amazon.com for a short time.
And: Currently, Packt sells ebooks for $4.99 each if you buy 5 of their over 1000 ebooks. If you choose only a single one, $9.99. How about combining 3 LaTeX books with Python, gnuplot, mathplotlib, Matlab, ChatGPT or other AI books? Epub and PDF. Bundle (3 books, add more for higher discount): https://packt.link/MDH5p

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).
