Or if you are using (x)emacs you get these as well. I have the
following in my .emacs file, it puts all the ~ backup files in one
directory and thus can easily be managed. Of course it doesn't help
for files of the same name in different directories.
(defun make-backup-file-name (file)
(concat "/home/servis/Emacs_Bak/" (file-name-nondirectory file) "~"))
; ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
; change to your own preference
(defun backup-file-name-p (file)
(string-match "\\~$" file))
