The docstring for backup-directory-alist says
,----
| For the common case of all backups going into one directory, the alist
| should contain a single element pairing "." with the appropriate
| directory name.
`----
FWIW, I tried
(setq backup-directory-alist '(("." . "/home/nick/.emacs.d/backup-dir")))
and it seems to work. I don't remember if I had to create the backup-dir
beforehand.
