Module backup script

Like many others, I was tired of loosing work from the endless toolset corruptions.

After many attempts at backing up, I came across 7zip and put together a script to automated the backup process.

The result is a windows batch file, which creates a time-stamped 7zip archive file containing all of the module related files.

Now, before making edits ... I can double click the icon to make a new backup, then start editing w/o fear.

None of the old backups are over-written, so recovering from backups is a lot more reliable.

I've updated the examples, should be easier for people to use.
(less things to change, to get it working)

Here are the "minimal" steps, to get it working ... using the examples files.

1. First install 7zip under "C:\Program Files\7-zip"

2. add 7zip to your PATH
a. Click on START, then CONTROL PANEL .. then double click on SYSTEM icon.
b. goto ADVANCED tab, choose ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
c. should see (2) lists, one is System Variables ... find the one named "Path"
d. hit edit and then goto the end of the line and add ";C:\Program Files\7-Zip"
e. (to test it) .. START -> RUN "cmd" and type "7z", hit enter.
(should respond with a list of command line options)

3. Create the backup folder
a. open Windows Explorer, select My Computer -> C:
b. create a folder named "backups" under c:\

4. place the "7zbackup.txt" under the "c:\backups" directory
a Edit "7zbackup.txt", changing \LOGIN_NAME\ to match yours.
b. (check under Start -> Control Panel -> User Accounts, if unsure ... lists all the user accounts)

5. place "backup.bat.txt" on your desktop, rename to "backup.bat"

6. Now, double click on the bat file and see if it works.

This will backup all files under the campaign and modules directories ...
