Although several people have posted responses already, a better job of
covering the topic is the "How do I disable backup `auto-save-mode'?"
node in the Emacs FAQ. Type "C-h F" to get into the FAQ, select the
"Common Requests" menu item, and from there select the
"Disabling auto-save-mode" menu item. [You might also be interested
in the "Disabling backups" node.]
Be well.
