How Will FrameMaker Affect My Quota
FrameMaker has an autosave feature, similiar to that
of emacs or ez, which has been set to save
the document every five minutes. It also creates backups of your file
that you can revert to if you find you need an older version.
Finally, if FrameMaker crashes suddenly without warning, it
saves your document with the extension .recover.
Unfortunately, these files are saved in the same directory that your
file is in. Since the backup file is a copy of your document, it
unfortunately takes up just as much room.
Some suggestions to help reduce the amount of space frame takes up in
your account:
- delete and purge the .backup files when you have saved
your document and know you no longer need the backup file
- delete and purge any .recover files that are older than
your current working copy of the document.
- work in /tmp or /usr/tmp on a workstation to
create the document, and then REMEMBER to copy the file to your
directory when you are done.

files.
