My ~/org folder, with its sub directories, has a total of 13 .org files. Five of them are agenda files. I set up numbered backup, with the backups going to a separate directory: ~/auto-backups. For the most important org files, I raised the number of numbered backups kept. For example, my biggest org file has the following local variables: - Local variables: - auto-save-interval: 150 - version-control: t - kept-new-versions: 80 - End: I sincronize both ~/org and ~/auto-backups to a cloud syncing service. ~/auto-backups now is 97MiB, about 2% of my 5.5GiB cloud quota. Do you recommend keeping my current setup? Or should I adopt some version control system to have better history (right now I save only the latest 80 versions, and Emacs saves a new backup only on the Emacs session's first save)?
