+On Unix, Vim is prepared for links (symbolic or hard).  A backup copy of the
+original file is made and then the original file is overwritten.  This assures
+that all properties of the file remain the same.  On non-Unix systems, the
+original file is renamed and a new file is written.  Only the protection bits
+are set like the original file.  However, this doesn't work properly when
 working on an NFS-mounted file system where links and other things exist.  The
 only way to fix this in the current version is not making a backup file, by
 ":set nobackup nowritebackup"	|'writebackup'|
 
+A similar problem occurs when mounting a Unix filesystem through Samba or a
+similar system.  When Vim creates a new file it will get the default user ID
+for the mounted file system.  This may be different from the original user ID.
+To avoid this set the 'backupcopy' option to "yes".
