Hi Ted.

IIRC, the Save As... box will show you the full path that the file will be 
saved in.  Is that not the location of your master data file?

As to backing up - I just copy the files both to duplicate local storage 
(actually sometimes usb drive, sometimes DVD) and also copy off-site regularly 
using a cron job. 

HTH,
