Why using generate-backup ?

1. What is the advantages of using generate-backup over other solutions like cp -a, rsync, tar czf... ?
2. It may be fine to add the response to this question to the readme file.

1. For me personally, using the generator is easier for me to remember because it fits in with the tools that I already use. I also use this in combination with rsync but I had to lookup a lot of the flags then write a script to use it. The same command that works on mac and linux should also work on windows since we're using node.

2. I think this is a good idea and I'll try to expand on it soon.

To second what @doowb is saying, this allows us to automatically run backup as part of a larger build process.

Ok I understand, thanks!

I'm studying lot of your tools currently, and more I discover, more it looks like an awesome developer tools ecosystem!
