Yah, as mentioned on IRC and let me paste it here too, you need to
supply mode with O_CREAT:

	d = open(name, O_CREAT|O_RDWR|O_TRUNC,S_IRUSR);

or so. Also you could add perror("open") to those error paths so that it
can say why it failed creating the backup file.

With that, thanks for doing those!
