My USB disk mounts on /media/usbdisk. I'd like that, when editing files
located on that unit, backups are never created, at least on that
location.
I've come to this snippet:
(setq backup-directory-alist
'(("^/media/usbdisk/" . "/tmp")))
This works, it moves backups of all files there to /tmp, but I wonder if
I could simply inhibit backup file creation at all.
I see there's a variable called backup-inhibited, but I don't see how to
make it work for files in a given directory. Well, sorry I am not an
elisp expert by now!
Any ideas useful.
Cordially, Ismael
