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.
