Hi all:

I keep a timestamped backup copy of any modified file whenever I do a ":w". For this, my .vimrc includes the following lines:

    " backup settings
    set backup          " keep a backup file
    set backupdir=~/Backup/vim,.,/tmp
    " next line prevents overwriting old backup see also :help bex
    au BufWritePre * let &bex = '~' . strftime("%Y%m%d_%H%M%S%Z")

Interestingly, BufWritePre works with ":w", however, does not work with "ZZ".

Does anybody know why this is the case? How can I make it work with "ZZ", too?

Thanks for any hint.

Best,
Claus
