Why BACKUP on save is DISABLED by default
Because of problems in the way FrameMaker and AFS interact, the backup
on save option is disabled on Athena by default. Enabling this option
means that Frame whenever you use the Save command in FrameMaker, it
will save a copy of the previous version with a .backup file extension.
You can turn on this feature for a particular document, or for all
documents that you edit, but you should first read the stock answer
"FRAME May Lose Your Files".
To turn backup on save on for a particular file, choose the Preferences
option on the File menu. In the dialog box, select the Backup on Save
option. If you want to enable this option for all your Frame documents,
put this line into your ~/.Xresources file:
Maker.autoBackupOnSave: True
