> @Jean-Baptiste Faure, could you please provide the steps to reproduce it?

Easy:

- configure LO to make backups: menu Tools > Options > Load/Save > Check
"Always create backup copy"
- create two files, one text document and one spreadsheet with the same
basename; for example test.odt and test.ods
- open test.ods, change something, save and close the file -> you have a backup
test.bak in the backup directory
- open test.odt, change something, save and close -> you still have a backup
test.bak and it is a copy of test.odt, the copy of test.ods has been
overwritten.

I agree that this use case is a bad workflow, but sometimes it may arise for
good reason.

Now, I am not sure if that behavior should not be considered as a bug instead
of an enhancement request. Indeed it works as designed but in some corner case
there is dataloss (the backup of the first file).

Best regards. JBF
