The maintainer of vim changed the default behavior :(((((((((((((((((((((((((((
edit /etc/vimrc

search for the line

set backup            " keep a backup file

and uncomment this like this:

" set backup            " keep a backup file

Hint for the maintainer: please set a default of NO backups !
