[Feature Request] Make (temporary?) backup of changed files
Hi there, I just did a bit of an oopsie and overwrote some of my previous config work on my modpack via packwiz-installer, and that gave me the idea that it might be desirable to put backups of files that have changed and are replaced or deleted by a backup somewhere where users can access it—one case would be when a config file gets added to the modpack, overwriting changes the user might potentially have made locally.
There's a few considerations to be made:
- How long should the backup be kept?
- I'd suggest until the next update.
- Should there be a size limit?
- Maybe don't backup files over 500MiB or something like that.
Maybe a notice could be displayed on first update:
Pack was updated. Backups have been placed into
<folder>
