Not sure why, but it seems that xemacs refers to this variable but emacs refers to the backup-directory-alist variable. This is the error I get: File error: "Cannot open load file", "backup-dir" .emacs from xemacs customization: (custom-set-variables '(bkup-backup-directory-info (quote (("." "~emiller/emacs_bkup" ok-create))) nil (backup-dir))) .emacs from emacs customization: (custom-set-variables '(backup-directory-alist (quote (("." . "~emiller/emacs_bkup"))))) % emacs --version GNU Emacs 21.1.1 % xemacs --version XEmacs 21.1 (patch 12) Can anyone help me get both emacs and xemacs to backup files to the same directory?
