Should update script make a backup ? #28

I was wondering should the updating script make a backup before writing over the files --> one could then roll back if the updating fails.

It'd be simple enough to dump a backup into a tarball archive.. plenty of server operators (should) do so already, and it'd be easy enough to allow for a 'revert' command in the update script as well as allow a server op to do so manually via console (though windows installs will need a command line archive tool like 'tartool').
