<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Every day I increment the Julian date
on the project file I work on. So MyIncredibleProject.qgs file
becomes, for example today's Julian calendar date,
203MyIncredibleProject.qgs. Tomorrow the first thing I do will be
to increment the file to 204MyIncredibleProject.qgs and so on. <br>
<br>
Each day I archive the previous day's file to DVD. On January 1st,
2015 I will start a new DVD and file the 2014 data away.<br>
<br>
Such an elaborate backup scheme became necessary in my case due to
the complexity of my project which involves dozens of layers of
varying data types and the regular trashing of the project file by
QGIS.<br>
<br>
An option to do away with the automatic backup file would be nice.
I'll take it from there.<br>

I'm a big boy, I can tie my own shoelaces.<br>

I am very happy with 2.4. <br>

It's not a temp file. It's backup of version of the project file (or better put
the renamed original).

We are still at 2.4 and the backup file was introduced in November 2013.

What's the problem with having a second backup copy?
