My work-flow for dealing with backups from FrameMaker

[Davis, David]

Yes, I usually save myself using .backups files once every couple of months, like you describe Winfried!
They do clutter the directory, but it's worth it in my view :)

Hi,

I need the backup files now and then. Sometimes (once a year) I do something, save, close the file, and then I notice that I made a mistake. Without the backup I could not undo the mistake.

Or very rarely FrameMaker starts to have problems with a file after a certain operation.

Therefore I always have the automatic backup enabled!
If you think that you do not need it, you can disable it.
I think it's just an additional safety measure.

Best regards

Winfried
