Subject: System-wide problem with backup files
Date: Thu, 04 Dec 2003 13:07:54 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <6.0.0.22.2.20031204130056.027e3de0@ssc.wisc.edu> (raw)
We use emacs 21.2.1 on Tru64 and Linux servers. Recently (and we don't know
exactly when),
the backup files have not been updating properly. It only saves the
original backup file, but no
other changes when the file is edited subsequently. We haven't upgraded
emacs for over a year
so we haven't changed emacs itself recently. Does anyone have any idea what
could be causing this?
Your help would be very much appreciated as the problem is affecting a lot
of our users. Thanks.
