Description : Easily .bak a file or folder, then restore it.
This is a simple convenience tool for making temporary 'backup'
copies of files or folders, by adding and removing .bak to their
filenames. A limited number of options allow copying instead of
moving, and forcing overwrite of existing files.
- why is this package useful/relevant? For people who do frequent
tests on packages that utilize configuration files or folders,
backing up and restoring previous configurations can become
tedious after a time. This reduces effort.
- is it a dependency for another package? It is standalone..
- Do you use it? Yes frequently for testing browser package
updates.
- If there are other packages providing similar functionality,
how does it compare? I've found no other packages (though
it's possible something exists in utility/bin package
bundles that doesn't get mentioned in package descriptions.
- How do you plan to maintain it? It is a simple package, I
will maintain it myself.
- Are you looking for co-maintainers? No.
- Do you need a sponsor? I imagine so, as I've not previously
been involved in packaging for Debian.
