** Backup by Copying
By default Emacs moves a file to the backup location and then
creates a copy in the original location, which apart from being a
very strange thing to do also messes up hard links. Setting
[[help:backup-by-copying][backup-by-copying]] changes it to the more obvious behaviour of
simply copying the file to the backup location.
