Bruce, I don't have 'set backup' anywhere, and (g)vim does create the
.swp files.
Using :help backup, found the following (see important WARNING further
below):
{{{
If you write to an existing file (but do not append) while the 'backup',
'writebackup' or 'patchmode' option is on, a backup of the original file
is made. The file is either copied or renamed (see 'backupcopy'). After
the file has been successfully written and when the 'writebackup' option
is on and the 'backup' option is off, the backup file is deleted. When
the 'patchmode' option is on the backup file may be renamed.
*backup-table*
'backup' 'writebackup' action ~
off off no backup made
off on backup current file, deleted afterwards (default)
on off delete old backup, backup current file
on on delete old backup, backup current file
}}}
Important *WARNING*:
{{{
'writebackup' 'wb' boolean (default on with |+writebackup| feature, off
otherwise)
global
{not in Vi}
Make a backup before overwriting a file. The backup is removed
after the file was successfully written, unless the 'backup' option
is also on.
WARNING: Switching this option off means that when Vim fails to
write your buffer correctly and then, for whatever reason, Vim
exits, you lose both the original file and what you were writing.
Only reset this option if your file system is almost full and it
makes the write fail (and make sure not to exit Vim until the write
was successful).
See |backup-table| for another explanation.
When the 'backupskip' pattern matches, a backup is not made anyway.
NOTE: This option is set to the default value when 'compatible' is
set.
}}}
Thus, I cannot see a *safe* way of disabling "backup" with (g)vim.
