lost topics... again

lost topics... again

[lg work]

A real pain. My emacs crashed and I lost my topics configuration. Is
there a way to recover?

Thank you in advance for your help

So you lost your ~/.newsrc.eld?

When running the bleeding edge version of Emacs you surely have a
backup.  So restore the backup of ~/.newsrc.eld (and ~/.newsrc).

Bye, Reiner.

I  created my topic again so I don't  know the status of my
~/.newsrc.eld

I know that I lost topic configuration and newsgroups subscription. Next
time I will look that file.

ok. Is there a gnus-way to do this backup?

The topics configuration is stored in ~/.newsrc.eld

I in mind a real backup of your home directory.  But there's
`gnus-backup-startup-file' and (info "(emacs)Backup"):

,----[ (info "(gnus)Startup Files") ]
|    The `gnus-startup-file' variable says where the startup files are.

| version control for this file, set `gnus-backup-startup-file'.  It

`----

Bye, Reiner.
