My USB disk mounts on /media/usbdisk. I'd like that, when editing files located on that unit, backups are never created, at least on that location.
I've come to this snippet: (setq backup-directory-alist '(("^/media/usbdisk/" . "/tmp"))) This works, it moves backups of all files there to /tmp, but I wonder if I could simply inhibit backup file creation at all. I see there's a variable called backup-inhibited, but I don't see how to make it work for files in a given directory. Well, sorry I am not an elisp expert by now! Any ideas useful.
