###TODO (as of V0.3.1)

Fix behavior when the RES-Backups folder already exists in the users home dir. As of right now you will be prompted to rename it to RES-Backups-OLD.
Find out more about the .localstorage-journal file and its purpose (and then if it should be backed-up as well).

#####What:

The application searches for RES (Reddit Ehancement Suite) installs on your computer and make a copy of them in a folder in your user's home directory.

#####Why:

Backups are good, and especially right now for firefox users because firefox has been deleting res settings on reset.

#####Who:

Anyone who uses RES, and has a Java Runtime on their machine can use this application.

#####How:

The application works by checking the location of many different locations different browsers use to store your RES settings. Then if the file is found it is added to a backup file which is stored at the location you specify.
To run it simply download the latest release and double click it. Then click Detect RES Installs. Then check the installs you want to make a backup of and click Make Backup. A copy of the selected config files will be stored in your user's home directory in a folder called RES-Backups.

#####Where:

Check the releases for the latest working version, or download the latest commit and build from source (but don't expect it to be bug-less if you do).
