as far as i know you cant do that,

the only thing you can do is when you 'save as' there is a option button, and there you can set the number of backups to one, or maybe zero, but i wouldnt advise this, as multiple backups can come handy some time and you will get used to the 3 backup files everywhere.

Agreed!  I don't think you can save them in a different location and they will come in handy so keep 3.  I know they've saved me a couple times.

Save AT LEAST three back-ups.  also the more often you save to central your revit automatically creates a "rollback" feature so if you also lose your back-ups you can "rollback" your revit model to a place where it worked.

If worksets are enabled then backups are saved into a subfolder.  If not, then backups are always saved in the same location as the main file.  This cannot be changed...
