Many thanks. I used to know this, but found it to be annoying as heck 
because at the time it made copies in the directory where I stored the 
copy I wanted to keep, and left them there. On the other hand if you 
don't have oodles of space to begin with, it can eat your disk for lunch.

If it is something or a process where one needs to keep all versions, 
one of the version control packages would be just the thing.

Again thanks for the warning about keeping check points by hand.
