I think you misunderstood how backups work. Every 30 seconds is the auto
save (the file's contents are written to #filename#, so that if jEdit
crashes you can recover your most recent work even if it was not saved).
Auto save files are deleted when you do a 'proper' save.

Backups are created either the first time a file is saved after being
opened, or every time a file is saved. The former is the default but
this can be changed in Utilities-Global Options-Loading and Saving.
