Thanks for pointing out that the "filename~" file is actually the backup file. So I agree with you that it would be safe not to overriding this behavior.
Thank you again for prompt reply.

For gvim its in the Edit pull down Settings menu
set bdir=.,/home/mnolin/tmp,/home/mnolin/
backupext file name extension for the backup file
set bex=~
backups are usually a good thing so I haven't bothered
to override this
behavior. Though I do get swap file already exists
messages.
