What do you mean by ``backuped'' here?  Backup is something you do to
preserve the original version of a file when the modified version is
written to disk.  Buffers that don't have an associated file cannot
possibly overwrite an existing file, so there's nothing to backup.

Do you perhaps mean some kind of auto-save, whereby the buffers that
don't have an associated file are saved to disk where you can find
them in case Emacs crashes?  If so, I think you want to look into
turning auto-save on in those buffers, not backup them.

Or are you looking for something else?  If so, please tell more
details.
