Tiny backup is a small script to make quick backups without cluttering your project folder.
It adds a new button to Blender under the "File" menu that creates a seperate (timestamped) backup file. These files will be stored into a seperate folder called "backup", right next to you original blend file.
The name of the backup folder can be changed in the addon preferences.
Fixed a bug where using the operator on unsaved files would create files in the program directory
This extension requests the following permission:
Save backups on disk
If the .blend file isn't saved it creates backup
folder inside C:\Program Files\Blender Foundation\Blender 4.2 directory and saves file as 2024_07_08_16_34_12_
without .blend extension.
I suggest you grey out the operator if file isn't saved.

Hey everyone,
Just a heads-up about a recent change regarding the licensing of add-ons on the Blender extension platform. Moving forward, all add-ons will need to be released under the GNU/GPL 3.0 license (SPDX:GPL-3.0-or-later). This is mainly to keep things simple and consistent across the board.
Previously, we accepted various licenses as long as they were compatible with Blender’s distribution. However, to avoid any confusion and streamline the process, all add-ons using the bpy API should now be presented as GPL 3 (the same license the Blender bundle is distributed). Regardless of whether the original code was under GPL 2, or something else like MIT or ZLIB.
Existing add-ons versions won't be affected. However, new updates will need to comply to the revised requirements.
Thanks for understanding, and feel free to reach out if you have any questions.
