Now that I looked at the patch, I have one concern.

I don't mind if the backup copy doesn't have the same
permissions as the original, especially not if you can't
guarantee that the owner/group doesn't change.  However, I
do mind if the backup copy has *more* permissions than the
original.  Consider a file that was only readable by the
owner (probably for some good reason), and because of a
permissive umask, the backup copy all of a sudden is
world-readable.
