Hello!

In my ~/.vimrc, I've got, among other settings, "set backup". Because
of this, vim creates backup files in the current directory. That's good!

But when I edit a file which is in /tmp, there's no backup file "left
behind".

Why's that so and how do I change this?

I'm using vim 7.0 on Gentoo Linux.

Thanks,

Alexander Skwar
