stop backups
Submitted by sleek on Tuesday, 10 August, 2004 - 01:08
Every time I edit a file, I keep getting a backup. If the file is Main.java, the backup will be named Main.java~. I have removed the option in Global Options to put ~ as a suffix. But how can I just disable backups completely? Thanks

How to switch off

Hi,

this is taken from the docs:
---snip---
The Max number of backups setting determines the number of backups to save. Setting this to zero disables the backup feature. Settings this to more than one adds numbered suffixes to file names. By default only one backup is saved.
---snip---

Utilities->Global Options->Autosave&Backup->Set "Max number of backups" to 0

Hope it helps,
Lars
