According to the help page there is none.

These are the only configuration options regarding backup I found
there:

|'backup'|	   |'bk'|	keep backup file after overwriting a file
|'backupdir'|	   |'bdir'|	list of directories for the backup file
|'backupext'|	   |'bex'|	extension used for the backup file
|'writebackup'|    |'wb'|	make a backup before overwriting a file
