backup with revisions

[H S]

Hello all,

I hope someone could shed me some light how to get backup with
revisions to work. What I found out is that the code below seems to
work in certain directories but not those CVS'd ones. I am not
sure whether CVS has anything to do with it.

(require 'backup-dir "~/backup-dir.el")
(setq bkup-backup-directory-info
'((t "~/.backups" ok-create full-path)))
(setq backup-by-copying t
delete-old-versions t
kept-old-versions 2
kept-new-versions 6
version-control t)

Thank you.
IS

Quoting the "Backup Files" node of the emacs manual:
For files managed by a version control system (*note Version
Control::), the variable `vc-make-backup-files' determines whether to
make backup files. By default it is `nil', since backup files are
redundant when you store all the previous versions in a version
control system. *Note General VC Options::.
