I wouldn't disable, but put the backups aside:

;; Backups to central location
(setq make-backup-files         t ; backup my files
       backup-by-copying         t ; don't clobber sym-links
       backup-directory-alist    '(("." . "~/.emacs.d/ 
Sicherungen")) ;don't litter
       delete-old-versions       t ; some time it can be enough ...
       kept-new-versions         6
       kept-old-versions         2
       version-control           t ; use versioned backups
       vc-make-backup-files      t ; make backups for cvs projects
       vc-follow-symlinks        t)
