The default is to create a filename~ in the same folder. My idea is to copy the file to another folder. When I edit and save ~/ text/file.txt the backup is saved in ~/.emacs.d/backup/home/florian/ text/file.txt.n with n being a number incremted form 1 to x each save. Can I configure Emacs like that? Thanks, Florian
