I've hijacked a Windows 7 machine today. It runs Emacs 25.1 only, but
this should be good enough. I have prepared a similar setting, with
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
backup-directory-alist is a variable defined in `files.el'.
Its value is (("." . "c:/Users/lb01177/AppData/Roaming/.emacs.d/backup"))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
I have used file "/plink:albinus@192.168.178.30:/home/albinus/tmp/123" as
test file. The interesting function is make-backup-file-name-1, which
I debug.
When I enter line 4422, the (when (memq system-type '(windows-nt ms-dos cygwin))
part, backup-directory is
"c:/Users/lb01177/AppData/Roaming/.emacs.d/backup", and file is still
"/plink:albinus@192.168.178.30:/home/albinus/tmp/123". As expected.
The interesting part is here:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
;; Replace any invalid file-name characters (for the
;; case of backing up remote files).
(setq file
(expand-file-name (convert-standard-filename file)))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
(convert-standard-filename file) returns
"\\plink!albinus@192.168.178.30!\\home\\albinus\\tmp\\123".
And (expand-file-name ...) returns then
"c:/plink!albinus@192.168.178.30!/home/albinus/tmp/123".
Unexpected, indeed. I believe, this must be fixed, because "c:" is
converted to "/drive_c" later on. The final backup name is
"c:/Users/lb01177/AppData/Roaming/.emacs.d/backup/!drive_c!plink!!albinus@192.168.178.30!!!home!albinus!tmp!123.~3~"
Eli?
