If that's the reason you want backup off then you might look into setting backupdir instead. You can do "set backupdir=/some/dir/out/of/the/way" to have your backup files go to a central directory instead of defaulting to the directory of the file you're editing. That way you can have backup on without having your backup files intermingled with your real files. -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
