Well.. I am not able to test it right now, but something like this should suffice.

Code:
function vib() {
    if [ -z $1 ]; then
        echo "You must supply a filename to modify.";
        echo "Syntax is: vib filename";
        exit;
    fi
    if [ ! -z $1 ]; then
        cp -v $1 /home/username/pathtobackupdir/$1.bak.`date +%Y%m%d`
        vi $1
    fi
}

Let me know how it works out! Of course, change the path to the backup directory.
