Relatively easy.

Start at src/backend/file/gnc-backend-file.c.  In particular, look for
the strings "retain_days" and ".xac".  That will lead you to
gnc_file_be_backup_file and gnc_int_link_or_make_backup.  Check the
callers, and you'll find your way to gnc_file_be_write_to_file.  Between
those functions should lie the solution.

(Followups should probably go to gnucash-devel...)
