Create its own backup folder for each OS #17

I use the same unlocker folder for Windows and Linux, yet they backup into same backup folder with both lnx-install.sh and win-install.cmd. Probably not a good idea. Could be possible to use separate folders for separate OSes?

@superbonaci in which scenarios do you need backup folder for each OS?

Do you use Windows as host and Linux as guest with shared folders?
Do you use Linux as host and Windows as guest with shared folders?
Do you use Windows as host and WSL with a X11 server?
Do you use other like remote ssh server?

I don't understand those questions. What I do is to unlock OSX guests under Linux and Windows using same git clone folder.

My question is how you can access to the same git clone folder from the OSX guest to the both Windows and Linux.

I don't access it from the guest, only from the host to run lnx-install and win-install.

What OS is your host?

This is the description of the issue. Run win-install.cmd on Windows. It created the backup folder with these contents inside:

backup/
backup/x64
backup/x64/vmware-vmx-debug.exe
backup/x64/vmware-vmx.exe
backup/x64/vmware-vmx-stats.exe
backup/vmwarebase.dll

Then, from the same unlocker folder I run sudo ./lnx-install.sh on Linux, and the contents get overwritten with:

backup/
backup/libvmwarebase.so
backup/vmware-vmx-debug
backup/vmware-vmx-stats
backup/vmware-vmx

I lost my Windows files backup. This is what I mean by having separate backup directories for Windows and Linux. Could you fix this please?
