Subject: universal backup directory
Date: Mon, 27 Jan 2003 07:43:48 -0800 (PST)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20030127154348.84275.qmail@web10701.mail.yahoo.com> (raw)


I have the following entry in my dotfile:

;; MAKE ALL BACKUPS TO A SINGLE DIRECTORY 
(setq backup-directory-alist `(("." .
,(file-name-nondirectory "~/.emacs_backups"))))
 
This will make backups in the current directory to a
dir called .emacs_backups -- however, is there a way
to make one universal backup directory that all emacs
files go to regardless of where they are saved?

Thanks!
