The solution isn't what you think :)
Swap-files (on *nix-like OSes) are named with the pattern
.filename.ext.swp
The swap files do/should always get cleaned up unless the Vim
process crashes.
The *backup* files are name
filename.ext~
with the tilde. Because they're backup files, they _should_
persist after Vim quits. However, you can tweak the behavior of
backup files with various options:
big picture:
:help backup-table
more details:
:h 'backup'
:h 'writebackup'
Hope this helps,
