module Soul
  module Files_Backup
    # Specified files to backup. Why specify? Because I want to make it
    # a script where you want to backup what you want, not what the script
    # permanently dictates. I want to make it flexible as possible.
    Files = ["Actors.rvdata2", "Animations.rvdata2", "Armors.rvdata2",
    "Classes.rvdata2", "CommonEvents.rvdata2", "Enemies.rvdata2",
    "Items.rvdata2", "Scripts.rvdata2", "Skills.rvdata2",
    "States.rvdata2", "States.rvdata2", "System.rvdata2", "Tilesets.rvdata2",
    "Troops.rvdata2", "Weapons.rvdata2", "MapInfos.rvdata2"]
    Map_Number = ["Map001.rvdata2"] # no maps to backup, add map numbers you want to backup.
    # For example: map_Number = ["Map001.rvdata2"]
  end

class Game_Interpreter
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # * copy_with_path (New Function) - this duplicates the source and puts
  # it into a new destination. You can use this to back up your files right
  # before you save it. So when you have an item existent or non existent
  # prior of that saving, you will still have it.

  def copy_with_path(src, dst)
    FileUtils.mkdir_p(File.dirname(dst))
    FileUtils.cp(src, dst)

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.

Terms of Use

You can freely change, adapt and remix my script, but NOT the FileUtils module, as it is not mine. Anything that is not listed under my script is not in my jurisdiction to say whether its free to change or share. My script is free for non-commercial and commercial usage.
