I raised this question some time ago but received no responses. I'm running JabRef 3.3 (stuck there because of the oft-discussed groups problem) and have seven databases. When I explicitly back a database up (C-s), the database is saved as /tmp/jabref*.tmp. When I backup again, the old file is overwritten by the new one.
However, exactly every five minutes three of my seven databases are automatically backed up to a file named /tmp/jabref*.save.bib. This occurs even though no operations are being done with JabRef. Because there is no automatic deletion of these files each time there is a new save, they accumulate to the point it fills my 20 Gb /tmp directory. It seems the three databases must be configured differently, but I see no difference. In the Preferences for seven I have checked Backup old file while saving. I could write a script to delete these .save.bib files automatically, but I'd rather address the source of the problem. There is nothing in /var/log/cron.log associated with this issue.
