Could it be not that it cannot auto backup, but that you've TOLD it not to auto backup, via emacs' config file? Try "emacs -q filename". That will tell it to not load emacs' init file. To tell the truth, I've always turned this off. I can't remember the last time I saw emacs crash, or the machine it was running on. I have: (setq make-backup-files nil) in my ~/.gnu-emacs (which is called by ~/.emacs). If you find that in either of those files, comment it out and emacs will do backups. -- Any technology distinguishable from magic is insufficiently advanced.
