   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.

Hi, when your first package will be ready if you haven't found a sponsor I suggest you use mentors.debian.net
