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.

Yes, but how does one set them differently for .newsrc.eld than I like
their values for other files? I read (info "(emacs) Backup Deletion").
Maybe I would place a local variable setting within .newsrc.eld but that
seems rather dangerous, as that file is usually machine edited.

you could use directory local variables: (emacs) Directory Variables
assuming you place your .newsrc.eld file somewhere other than your home
directory...
