Subject: numbered backups
Date: Tue, 20 May 2014 19:13:09 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <87bnur98wa.fsf@stevenarntson.com> (raw)

I know I read how to do this somewhere, but can't find it now. I'd like
emacs to name my backup files not as

file.org.~1~
file.org.~2~

but rather as

file.org.~001~
file.org.~002~

is there a variable I could call up from M-x customize to influence this
behavior?

Thank you!
Steven Arntson
