The problem is that the reason you can "Save" pretty quickly is that the game has a folder that holds most of the information already (Player Images, Logos, Historical Statistics, Salary Information, you name it). A "Save" is only re-writing a portion of that stuff, essentially the stuff that has changed since the last Save. A "Save As" needs to re-write EVERYTHING with the new name. That is going to take a LONG time compared to a regular Save.. That is what is happening when you do a Backup.

Also, you can definitely have multiple backups of the same game. You just need to create new folders.
