John, I'm not sure if the following answers all your questions, if not please come back.
Legacy will only ask if you wish to back-up if you have changed the file during the session. If no changes have been made then you will not be asked. It does not remember if you have backed up during your session and if changes have been made you will be asked if you wish to back-up. It does not matter which way you exit. I regularly back-up using the Icon during long sessions and even if no changes have been made after the last back-up, I will still be asked if I wish to back-up - I just click "Skip".
