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.
| The default value is `~/.newsrc', with the Gnus (El Dingo) startup file
| being whatever that one is, with a `.eld' appended. If you want

| respects the same values as the `version-control' variable.

Bye, Reiner.
