Check the Emacs info node named "Backup Names".
This is one way to do it:
You want something like the following in your ~/.emacs:
(setq backup-directory-alist '("." . "/home/anoop/backup"))
or more generally:
(setq backup-directory-alist `("." . ,(expand-file-name "~/backup")))
I know this works...

is only considered... But since you say it worked with Emacs20, send
in a bug report... or if you have the time, compare the files.el
source file in 20.7 and 21.1 :)
