I tell people who ask "if-and-only-if the .bak doesn't already exist" and ignore the once in a blue moon when the client decides to update the copy anyhow.
The various addon updaters out there could add a nice feature where they offer to delete the .bak files for you. I wouldn't want it done automatically, but a handy button to do it on command would make the .bak file creation a lot more useful.
