No, but there are two very easy solutions:
1) Specify a different folder for backups.
OR:
2) Have the application append "bak" BEFORE the file extension. This
is what Finale does with autosaved files (not backups). If the
regular file is MyMasterpiece.mus, the autosave file is MyMasterpiece
asv.mus.
Both of these seem much better than creating a bunch of ".bak" files
that don't automatically open with the correct application when
double-clicked, and don't show up as valid choices in Finale's "Open"
menu unless you force it to by choosing "All Files."

The problem on Windows seems to be that for some strange reason, when
saving backups, it's normal for Windows apps use the ".bak" extension
instead of the usual filetype extension. That doesn't seem like such
a great idea to me.
Er, how else would have two files with the same root filename in the
same location? Is it possible to have more than one MyMusic.mus in
the same folder on a Mac?
