OK. I didn't test this much, but I thought when I did that I saw it
make a backup at that point.

There's this:
C-x C-s runs the command save-buffer
By default, makes the previous version into a backup file if
previously requested or if this is the first save.
Prefixed with one C-u, marks this version to become a backup when the
next save is done.
Prefixed with two C-u's, unconditionally makes the previous version
into a backup file.
Prefixed with three C-u's, marks this version to become a backup when
the next save is done, and unconditionally makes the previous version
into a backup file.
Chris.
