Ah... mine don't, because of this setting in .emacs:
(setq make-backup-files nil)
(The setting goes back to 1993-1995, and PC-NFS becoming very confused
when new versions of files got new inodes (ie. when I edited a file in
emacs on unix, programs on the PC still saw the old version). I could
change this now, I guess... but I've never had much use for the ~
backups so losing them was actually losing a nuisance. The autosave
files on the other hand, them I could not do without)
