Hi there,
I just starte using the recentf function of Emacs and now I have a
little inconvenience with the backup system. Everytime I shutdown Emacs
(I know, one should never do it, but sometimes I have to turn of my
machine) I get this
Delete excess backup versions of .recentf?
message. Is there a simple way to turn it of without turning this
question of in general?
greetings,
Stefan

I use recentf, but I've never seen this message.
Sounds like a backup setting problem to me. Don't you have a too
high number set for kept versions?

well, I just have
(setq make-backup-files t)
(setq backup-directory-alist (quote ((".*" . "~/.emacs_backups/"))))
in my .emacs. Does this hurt?
greetings,
Stefan
