[plug] vi backing up files

Just a short question about the irritating tendency vi seems to have of 
creating a backup of every file it edits. I use :wq to save and quit after 
editing, only to find a copy of the original file with a tilde character 
appended to it's name in the same dir. Is there a way to stop vi doing this?
