First, that was Rod, not me. Second, no, i don't have that folder.
Third, I'm on version 12, as the subject line notes. :-) This is not a recent install. However, based on your observation, I looked in the Data directory and there are several symlinks to directories like Desktop and Downloads. So I made one to Documents. Problem solved. A new save creates a folder named by today's date inside the folder "BBEdit Backups" in Documents. If that folder is missing, it creates it. If there's an alias that points to another folder, it follows it. I'm not quite sure that I deleted that symlink tucked away in the Library, but it's working now, so no questions asked.
