Well, usually the backup is created in the same directory as the
original -- but of course, for that to work, you need file-creation
permission in that directory.
What is your 'backupdir' option set to?
:verbose set backupdir?
It is a comma-separated list. I recommend having it start with . or ./
(both of which mean the directory of the editfile) and end with one or
more directories where you have all permissions with your current username.
