Hi, I need the backup files now and then. Sometimes (once a year) I do something, save, close the file, and then I notice that I made a mistake. Without the backup I could not undo the mistake.
Or very rarely FrameMaker starts to have problems with a file after a certain operation. Therefore I always have the automatic backup enabled! If you think that you do not need it, you can disable it. I think it's just an additional safety measure.
