    I got bored and made this. Its a simple program that runs in the background while you're working on your hacks and will make backups for you. Now you wont have to worry about not having a backup when you mess up!

    Current features:
    Backup your ROM magically in the background
    Handy notifications when it makes a backup
    IPS, UPS, and BAK backup types
    Manually make a backup if you so happen to want to

    Planned Features:
    Async backup creation
    Patch checking in order to verify that things were backed up properally
    Faster IPS creation

    Changelog:
    Added Notifications when making an instant backup
    Updated Libips
    Minor Formatting changed to backup's date and time
    Preparing program for making backups using an async thread which is something I probably should've done in the first place

    Credits:
    Alcaro for creating libips
    VectorMan for having a copy to said libips on his github under TinyIPS(And for any changes he may have made to it)--Real MVP right here
    Me I guess?

    Note:
    MagicBackup puts its config files and the like in
    "C:\ProgramData\MagicBackup" just so you know.

    If anyone knows how to make UPS patches let me know please ♥
