This has worked wonders for us
Before anyone relies on the automatic "backup" files that FrameMaker create,
you need to be aware that these are *NOT* true backups.
A true backup would result if Frame saved a second copy of the file that you
just saved, and that is *not* what happens. Instead, all Frame does is rename

Since I don’t really use them for anything either, I suppose I could also turn
this off too … it is just more of my belts and suspenders belief coming
through, I suspect!

Okay ... :)
I don't really need them anymore but just like the idea of keeping them too
(per my belts and suspenders approach) ... they have not hurt me in any way
that I know of.
For what it is worth, storage is cheap today ... so I simply copy them off into
a subdir and delete them before I
I have turned off the backup feature since FM9. I am on FM12 now.
I have never had reason to regret that decision.

The .backup files were essential before 7.2 added undo, but since then
they have seemed to me to cause more trouble than they avoid. I can't
recall having had a problem where they would have been useful. It
seems like a legacy feature.

Sorry for the long response here, but perhaps others might benefit from what I
do.

I always turn the backup feature off in FM preferences to get rid of
those files.
I created a cheat sheet for linking a FrameMaker project to a RoboHelp
project since I found Adobe's documentation unclear:

Hello Framers,
I have a client looking for a project lead for a FrameMaker to electronic
output project for a US government agency. You would need to have expertise
in converting FrameMaker 12 documents to various electronic formats for use
on tablets, phones, and the web. The client needs to pres
Yes, I could do that too, but then I’d have to run it in reverse if FM ran into
trouble and it needed one of those “extra” files to recover/restore from – FM
needs the smarts to be able to know where they’re located and retrieve from
that location when needed, which it’s currently lacking. Break
They probably weren’t corrupted at all – you just had selected the backup
instead of the “live” copy when you opened up the next file (and then your
workflow just perpetuated the mistake). One longstanding FM grumble is the

Hi Apurva,
Always set Explorer to show file extensions. It makes life so much easier
for Framers! :-)
Glad you solved your problem.
Brgds,

Fellow Framers,
Problem solved after some investigation, although I cannot understand the
entire process.
*Problem*
- While editing, I created the various FM files by renaming and saving
the complete file as the next file, deleting the existing stuff and editing
new content on the page.
Greetings!
I am currently writing a book in FM 10 with about 30 individual FM files
with a total of about 200 pages.
My client wants outputs in pdf as well chm / webhelp formats. The pdf
output through FM's own 'save as pdf' works very well and the file looks
really great.
