  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.
