I like having backups available in case of crashes or other emergencies, so I
don't want to turn them off. As it's also my habit to save different versions
of an active FrameMaker project in different folders, backups are only required
for those emergencies.
That makes a lot of clutter in the

I have stopped saving multiple backups on my system and instead keep all
active work in a Dropbox folder. Active files are automatically backed up
online and to my laptop, and all saved versions of a file are available for
30 days from the Dropbox site. No more clutter!

Syed,
Good stuff. This is why it's so nice to have a little DOS in your pocket so you
can customize it for the way you work.
Jaime,
Are you copying *.*? That copies everything. I don't know of an exclusionary

Yup, the synced desktop/laptop/online copies is exactly what I want. Dropbox
just increased the space to 1TB for the paid version, which is more than
enough for my active files. Didn't mention that I also use it to transfer
files to others. And can access it from my phone and tablet. More than

I do not use the backup feature in FM.
Howerver, I have set Automatic save every 5 minutes. And If I'm
experimenting, i
first save the document and then do the experiment.
In addition I have a backup system running every day to be able to retrieve
older
versions in case of an accident.

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

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.

I have turned off the backup feature since FM9. I am on FM12 now.
I have never had reason to regret that decision.

Robert and you are on the same page. ☺
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

Ø One of the least awkward ways to work with FrameMaker files and backups is
probably to use revision control software like SVN or git. I keep backups
disabled in FrameMaker because I know that every commit of changes to my files
is backed up and reverting is easy.
