description
backup.vim stores backups out of the way in the ~/.vim_plugins/vim_backup directory.

Each file is split into it's file name and path, the md5sum of the path is used to create a unique subfolder in ~/.vim_plugins/vim_backup, and the files are backed up into that folder.  This ensures that your files are backed up, that your directories are not cluttered with *~ files, and that each file that you edit has it's own unique backup.
