This is a mirror of http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=1537 Holds numbered backups inside a separate directory. Automatically purges old backups. Standard is to hold the last 10 versions. Tested with Linux, MS-Windows and OpenVMS. IMPORTANT: Creating this plugin was only possible because vim 7 offers new file management functions - namely :mkdir, finddir() delete() and the new List datatype. This plugin won'g work with vim 6.x. | Vim-Script  || https://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=1537 | Source      || https://github.com/krischik/vim-backup | Wiki        || https://github.com/krischik/vim-backup/wiki | Releases    || https://github.com/krischik/vim-backup/releases | Issues      || https://github.com/krischik/vim-backup/issues | Discussions || https://github.com/krischik/vim-backup/discussions

install details

Install from https://github.com/krischik/vim-backup using dein (https://github.com/Shougo/dein.vim) or similar: {{code|lang=vim| call dein#begin('$HOME/vimfiles/bundles') call dein#add('krischik/vim-backup') call dein#end() call dein#install() }} set the following global variables: g:backup_directory name of backup directory local to edited file used for non VMS only. Since non VMS operating- systems don't know about version we would get ugly directory listings. So all backups are moved into a hidden directory. g:backup_purge count of backups to hold - purge older once. On VMS PURGE is used to delete older version 0 switched the feature off
