AFAIK DRUPALROOT/backups is depricated since one of the latest drush versions.
The backup should be placed outside of DRUPALROOT due security reasons,
$HOME/backup of the executing user is the new default.

@see
#1004624: Improve error message and give remedy intructions - "It's a security risk to have a backup folder in your Drupal root"
