I'm experimenting backupcopy=yes on Windows (7 x64); now when I
overwrite my _gvimrc I get a

     E212: Can't open file for writing

I know I am supposed to keep backupcopy=auto, but I saw I get the same
error if I disable the backups altogether with

    set nobackup nowritebackup

I was wondering why.

thanks in advance.
