do you mean I create the file ~/.emacs, and fill the file with the
following content? thanks
;; Backup
(defvar backup-dir (expand-file-name "~/.emacs.d/ebackup/"))
(defvar autosave-dir (expand-file-name "~/.emacs.d/eautosave/"))
(setq backup-directory-alist (list (cons ".*" backup-dir)))
(setq auto-save-list-file-prefix autosave-dir)
(setq auto-save-file-name-transforms `((".*" ,autosave-dir t)))
