# Poor.Backup.System
A blazing stupid backup solution for Windows & Linux - based on a simple PowerShell Module working with Powershell Core on both Linux and Windows platform (should work also on Mac but not tested currently).
This project was just a demo to play with Powershell Core on both Linux and Windows to study differences & bugs.
At the end, this is the release. It's a very simple stuff I have built to be able to save easily file during some tests phase on non-industrialized environments.
