Hi, Local: Emacs on Windows 7. Host: Linux Tramp from Windows 7 to linux A further information: it is about backup. When I setup tramp-backup-directory-alist which will make it backup serverside. However, It concat !driver_c to the backup file name. I have setting ("\\.md$" . "~/.emacs.d/backup-tramp/mdfiles") in tramp-backup-directory-alist. The backup file in the server is "!drive_c!plink!!user@host!!!opt!host!path!Ava!_summary.md.~1~" The "!drive_c" comes very strange. Best Regards, Shuguang
