SET NOFILE BACKUP (ULTRIX only)
Disables making backup copies of existing files before overwriting them.
When you write a buffer or save a section file, EVE overwrites existing
files.
Usage notes:
o The file backup setting applies only to ULTRIX systems. The default is
SET FILE BACKUP. (See help on ULTRIX Differences)
o The setting applies to the following commands:
DELETE BUFFER EXIT SAVE FILE
SAVE FILE AS SAVE ATTRIBUTES SAVE EXTENDED EVE
SAVE SYSTEM ATTRIBUTES WRITE FILE
o Using SET NOFILE BACKUP, and then writing out to an existing file can
prevent you from recovering your edits with a keystroke journal file.
Keystroke recovery requires the original file to correctly recover your
edits. However, SET NOFILE BACKUP causes EVE to overwrite your original
files. If you are using keystroke journaling and issue this command,
EVE displays a warning message. There is no effect on buffer-change
journaling and recovery.
o The file backup setting is a global attribute which you can save for
future editing sessions by creating a section file or by creating or
updating a command file. See help on Attributes.
