Subject: making more .newsrc.eld backups
Date: Thu, 24 May 2012 14:52:36 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <8762bmrryj.fsf@jidanni.org> (raw)

Gentlemen, these are not enough backups.
  /home/jidanni/.backups:
  -rw-r--r--   1 jidanni  119526 05-24 14:40 !home!jidanni!.newsrc.eld.~11811~
  -rw-r--r--   1 jidanni  119526 05-24 14:38 !home!jidanni!.newsrc.eld.~11810~
  -rw-r--r--   1 jidanni  119526 05-24 14:35 !home!jidanni!.newsrc.eld.~11809~
  -rw-r--r--   1 jidanni  119520 05-24 14:32 !home!jidanni!.newsrc.eld.~11808~
  -rw-r--r--   1 jidanni  119488 05-24 14:31 !home!jidanni!.newsrc.eld.~11807~
Because they are generated every time I hit "s".

Please tell me how to make 50 backups instead of 5?

Or tell me how to make a backup of .newsrc.eld to some other filename
every time I start and stop gnus.
