Description:
This script allows you to backup specific files by using source and destination by FileUtils module. The reason why it is a specific backup is because it can be used to duplicate a file prior to saving and saving.


Requirements: This needs the FileUtils Module written by Minero Aoki.

You can access this module in this location:
https://raw.githubus...ib/fileutils.rb


Instructions:

To backup all your specific files, do this on a script call:

backup_listed_files

The backup files are located on the Game Folder, in a folder named "Backup".

Author's Notes:

Why specific? Why not backup all? Note that this script is for people who want to do specific backups for their files. Say for example you only want to backup a certain saved file prior in a future save, you can copy / backup it and put it on a sample folder called backup.
