Currently I use this thing for Tramp backups:
(add-to-list 'backup-directory-alist
(cons tramp-file-name-regexp nil))
However, I think backup files lying around everywhere is a
nuisance. Ideally, I would like to have the backup directory for files
opened with Tramp set to /method:host:.backup. Is that possible? How?
Also acceptable would be to put them with my local backup files in
~/.backup/method:host:!path!of!file~1~ or something like that. I would
think that's what Tramp would do with backup-directory-alist set to
(("." . ".backup")). However, that leads to Tramp complaining about the
backup file name not being a Tramp file name (duh!).
If none of those setups are possible, I'd like to know how I disable
backups for Tramp files completely, by setting backup-inhibited locally
for those buffers. I would think I could do that with tramp-mode-hook or
something similar, but can't find it.
