[gmx-developers] multiple backups

[nesanfor at criba.edu.ar]

Hello;
    I adhere to Anton´s idea were sucesive backups are noted as #name.ext.n# 
were n in the ´deepness level´ of the backup. This could be  usefull since any 
further operation on such files could be driven by the ´n´index . Perhaps it 
could be useful to leave an option to the user to the a limit of deepness of 
backups and once arrived to thal limit to make the set of backups to behave as 
a shift register were #name.ext.n# <- #name.ext.(n+1)# from n to N-1 (were N is 
the max depth) and the last backup set as #name.ext.N#

salut

Nestor
