Don't use the full path, just the file name. It should display the=20
backed up version of the file, which you can save wherever you see fit.

These files can exist either because of an unexpected exit (kill,=20
crash, system reboot, ...) or because you explicitly ask for such file=20=

to be "preserved" with the :pre command. (can happen if you want to=20
type :prev and miss the "v").
