/**
* @file user_data_backup.h
* @ingroup Utility
* @brief Best-effort safety copies of user data that lives inside the install directory.
*
* Background: Windows uninstallers shipped in 3.1.0/3.1.1 ran a blanket
* "RMDir /r $INSTDIR". For a portable install that deletes $INSTDIR\data
* (decks, settings, pictures) along with the payload, and for a normal install
* it deletes anything the user pointed into $INSTDIR. The fixed uninstaller
* preserves foreign files, but the destructive one is already on disk on
* affected machines, so the client keeps a safety copy outside the install
* directory before warning the user. Detection of at-risk paths lives in
* PathsSettings::pathsInsideDir; this helper only copies.
