Emacs has a built-in backup system, but it does not backup on each
|
|
save. It can be made to, but that makes saving really slow (and the
|
|
UI unresponsive), especially for large files.
|
|
|
|
Fortunately, Emacs has asynchronous processes.
|
|
|
|
To enable for all files -
|
|
`(add-hook 'after-save-hook #'async-backup)`
|
|
|
|
To enable for a specific file -
|
|
`M-x add-file-local-variable RET eval RET (add-hook 'after-save-hook #'async-backup nil t) RET`
