Folder Backup To Location

A VS Code extension to back up selected folders to a configurable destination directory with a timestamped copy.

Features

  • Right-click on any folder in the Explorer to trigger the backup.
  • Stores timestamped backups in the folder you configure (or choose on the fly).

Installation

  • Install directly from the VS Code Marketplace.
  • Optional manual install: package with npx @vscode/vsce package and use "Install from VSIX…" in VS Code.

Usage

  1. Set Folder Backup To Location › Backup Target Folder in VS Code settings (optional). Use a plain absolute path without wrapping it in quotes (e.g. /Users/you/Cloud Drive/backups).
  2. Right-click on a folder in the Explorer.
  3. Select "Backup folder to location".
  4. The extension copies the folder into the configured destination (or asks you to choose one) with a timestamp appended.

Settings

  • Folder Backup To Location › Backup Target Folder: Optional default destination for backups. Use a plain absolute path without quotes.
  • Folder Backup To Location › Exclude Node Modules: When enabled, skips every node_modules directory during the copy.

Requirements

  • VS Code 1.105.0 or higher.
