Thanks. Yes, the "backup" folder is only created when you select "Use Tomcat Installation". The WebTools Tomcat support assumes that it is okay to create the "backup" folder under the location of the installation. This is the simple and logical approach. However, this assumption isn't valid on Windows if the Tomcat installation is under "Program Files". I believe since Windows 7, the "Program Files" folder and I believe sub directories are not technically writable. To provide compatibility with programs that still try to write there, Windows tries to "fake" writing. Instead of writing under "Program Files", the file is written under "Users\<user>\AppData\Local\VirtualStore. You may need to enable displaying hidden files to see it. Files found there will override originals under "Program Files". I suspect this "trickery" is having issues in your use case, permissions not withstanding. If you were to install Tomcat, or lay down a Tomcat zip, someplace outside of "Program Files", I would not expect you to see this problem.
