remove 'set backup' from your .vimrc, and replace it with: set nobackup you want it to keep swap files (presumbably) - i forget what the option is for that, although it should be listed in your global vimrc and in the vimrc man page.... keeping swap files in the event of a crash is a different option than keeping a backup file for everything you edit. -- Experience -- a great teacher, but the tutition fees...
