🐛 Backup files automatically removed by TheBrain program

[chriskyfung]

Problem

TheBrain program deletes all the backup files made by the PowerShell script after a certain period of time.

Suggestion

Save the backup files in a separate path instead of the node directories. This way, the software program will not delete them and you can access them whenever you need.

Here is a PowerShell script that copies a file to a non-existing folder path:

Copy-Item -Path "C:\path\to\file" -Destination (New-Item -ItemType Directory -Force -Path "C:\path\to\non-existing\folder") -Force

Replace C:\path\to\file with the path of the file you want to copy and C:\path\to\non-existing\folder with the path of the non-existing folder you want to copy the file to. The -Force parameter ensures that the folder is created if it does not exist.
