add this line to your "$HOME/.exrc" file
set nobackup

in vim or gvim, try the foll command for more info
help backup

a word of advice though, if you are doing any sort of coding and are
turning off this feature of autobackups, please use some sort of
version control, so that you can roll back to previous code in case
you make a mistake and then save that file. i speaketh thus from my
past experiences.

Thank You,
Regards,
mario
